  Telling Melinda he could talk, was his choice. Melinda telling her father that he could talk, wasn't. Trapped in a cup, Teensie has to speak up for himself and demand respect from the people who care for him. 
  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!

  The Plagiarist From Rigel IV by Evan Hunter - Writing stories was hard work—unless Fred had a typewriter like "Reggie" that could write by itself! Nonsense? Fred agreed until he met— THE PLAGIARIST FROM RIGEL IV 
  I bought the typewriter in a pawn shop on Third Avenue. 
  The pawn shop proprietor was a balding old man with a walrus mustache. 
  "How much?" I asked him. 
  "Five dollars," he said casually. 
  I glanced at him skeptically. The machine was a Remington Noiseless, with italics, probably worth a little over a hundred new, and it couldn't have been more than a year or two old. 
  "How much?" I asked. 
  "Five dollars, is what I said. Five." He held up the fingers of his widespread hand. "Five. One-two-three...." 
  "What's wrong with it?" I asked suspiciously. 
  The old man shrugged. "Something has to be wrong with it? Listen, young man, don't look a gift horse in the mouth." 
  "How come it's so cheap?" 
  The old man sighed deeply. "You try to do a favor, you get all kinds of questions. Would you feel happier if I charged you fifty-five dollars?" 
  "I wouldn't pay fifty-five dollars. I haven't got that much money." 
  "Have you got five dollars? Can you pay that much?" 
  "Yes. But...." 
  "All right, take the machine. A case goes with it. Believe me, young man, this is a bargain." 
  "Five dollars?" I asked again. 
  "Five dollars. You want it? Yes or no? I got other things to do." 
  "I'll take it." 
  The old man smiled. "Good, you'll never regret it." 
  He slid the machine off the counter and put it into its case. He snapped the case shut then, locked it, and handed me the two keys.
