Summary
5-year-old Zongsuke grew up in a small seaside town. His home is on a cliff near the sea. One day, Zongsuke picked up a waste glass bottle washed ashore by the waves, with a trapped little goldfish inside. The little goldfish's name was Pony. She was the daughter of the Mermaid Queen. She sneaked out to play with a jellyfish and crashed into the bottle. Zongsuke took Pony back to his home and raised him in a plastic basin. Bonny had a great time at Zongjie's house. She liked Zongjie very much, and Zongjie also liked her. However, the happy days passed quickly. Poni's father, Fujimoto, took his daughter back to the bottom of the sea. Fujimoto was originally a fisherman, but later fell in love with the Mermaid Queen and became an undersea dweller. After Pony returned home, she missed Zongsuke very much, and she made a bold decision-she wanted to become a human and be with Zongsuke. With the help of his sisters, Pony stole his father's magic weapon and swam to the human world. Unexpectedly, the water of life containing dangerous magic went out of control. As a result, the sea water surged, the storm raged, the sisters turned into terrifying giant fish, and the waves rushed towards the cliff where Zongsuke's family was... The small seaside town was submerged, and Poni did not expect that his good wishes would lead to such a disaster. Can she save Zongsuke?
