Danaka Nichole Zoe Reaney and The Little Mermaid

Page 1
One sunny day, Danaka Nichole Zoe Reaney, age 6, of Tucson, Arizona, was visiting the ocean with Mom, Dad, Michelle, Papa and Grandma.
Danaka was in the shallow water collecting colorful seashells. As she reached for a bright pink shell, someone tapped her on the shoulder. It was a beautiful mermaid!

"I'm very unhappy," wept the mermaid. "My daddy, the king of the sea, has been captured by the evil sea serpent, Electra! I don't know what to do."
So Danaka said, "Please do not cry. I know how to rescue your daddy. Do you have any friends who can help us?"
The little mermaid replied, "Yes, I have many friends who would love to help."

Danaka and the little mermaid swam toward the evil serpent's den. Along the way they met two playful dolphins.
"We are Splish and Splash. Would you like to play with us?" asked the giggling dolphins.
Danaka told them, "We have no time to play. We must rescue the king of the sea. Come and help us!"

Danaka and her underwater friends swam a long way through the beautiful blue sea. Many sea animals wanted to help. There were graceful sea horses, countless starfish and a whole school of parrot fish. Everyone was eager to help save the king. Danaka and her friends swam closer and closer to the serpent's den.

The sea became cold and dark. Danaka was a little afraid and wished Mom, Dad, Michelle, Papa and Grandma were there to help.
From a distance, they could see Electra's den. It was a sunken pirate ship. Guarding the entrance were two huge sharks with big teeth as sharp as knives. The king was trapped with his hands chained tightly by his sides.

Danaka explained the rescue plan to the sea animals and gave the go-ahead signal.
The animals began swimming in circles like a swarm of wild bees around the serpent and the sharks! Danaka quickly entered the den through a porthole and unlocked the king's chains. The mermaid's daddy was free!

The sea animals cheered, "Hooray! Hooray! The king is saved!" The overjoyed mermaid gave her daddy a great big hug.
She said, "Oh, Daddy, I'm so happy we are together again. You could not have been saved without help from Danaka. We must find a way to thank her."

The king decided to hold a grand celebration at the palace in honor of Danaka. Animals from all over the ocean were invited. Danaka Nichole Zoe Reaney was crowned an honorary member of the royal sea family. Everyone danced and played merry music.
"Mom, Dad, Michelle, Papa and Grandma sure would be proud of me," thought Danaka.

The beautiful little mermaid presented Danaka with many brightly colored sea flowers and seashells.
"Won't you please stay with us forever?" pleaded the little mermaid.
Danaka replied, "I must return to my home in Tucson, Arizona. But I promise to return to the sea kingdom to visit."

Danaka thanked the king and the little mermaid for the beautiful party and the wonderful gifts. The dolphins, Splish and Splash, gave her a ride to the seashore.
Danaka was happy to be home and could not wait to tell Mom, Dad, Michelle, Papa and Grandma about her wonderful adventure with the little mermaid.
