Description: She's such a natural swimmer, and she's so
   tiny, that she's called Minnow ! More than anything, she wants to be included in
   the water carnival as a mermaid, but she's still too young. She thinks she won't
   participate at all if she has to continue to swim with the beginners, but things
   start to happen! A beautiful houseguest brings interesting guys -- and problems --
   into their life, her best friend comes down with a serious disease, so the girl
   has to grow up and begin to understand how she can participate and help in a lot
   more ways than being the star of the production.
