Michael had never seen the ocean before his stay with his Granny on a Florida island. When he arrives with his favorite toy, a little red horse, he is rather afraid of the ocean, but after he had to rush in to save his toy, wading seemed easy. After wading up to his middle to collect shells, swimming was inevitable. Michael makes friends on the island and the red horse had the golden sea horse in Michael's aquarium for a friend. As he learned about shells, and swimming, and fishing, Michael also learned how to part with a thing you love and not to mind.
