Tales From the Tank: Season 1...

Porsche Ray

The Longers' family have spent weeks with Teensie. They take him out into the community and listen to what he wants to say. The airplane is different. There, he's seen as "just a pet," and restricted from viewing the plane's take-off and landing. This doesn't sit well with Teensie.
A message from Teensie:
Being in a tank has its advantages. Primarily, people forget that I’m there. I mean, let’s be realistic for a moment, even when they do remember I’m around, they don’t see me as a threat.
I’m just a harmless goldfish.
But that’s not my full story. See, I’m more than just a goldfish. I can talk - and the people I talk to can understand me.
I live with an amazing family, Melinda and her father, who are doing everything they can do to keep me safe and give me the life I dream about.
Melinda has her books, and I have mine. This is my side of the story. In Tales From the Tank you’ll hear about what actually goes on in the Longers' home, and out in the community!
Come with me, and let me take you underwater to experience the adventure my way!
From Porsche Ray:
This short story is Season 1: Episode 4 of Tales From the Tank - short stories that take place within the full-size novels. Season 1 matches up with Book 1 of the MELINDA series, “Melinda and Her Father Go Scuba Diving".
These stories contain bonus content NOT included in the novels, but the storyline does run parallel to what you will see in the larger books.
Like all books in the MELINDA series, the content is safe, fun, and absolutely age-appropriate.
