“Don’t be silly, girl!” The coral reef spoke for the first time. “You will not survive outside water.”

“Aaahhh! That’s the power of bonding…. The guy understands our language. He will carry an open bowl of water in the car, and then, release me in the river. It is a pact we have arrived at.”

The doorbell rang, and she looked up with hope.
