Chapter Nine: Almost Home

Marlin and Dory finally reached the waters near the Great Barrier Reef.

They asked a school of fish about Nemo.

The fish recognized Marlin. “You’re the dad who’s been searching for his son!”

The news spread through the ocean like a wave.

Meanwhile, Nemo escaped from the bag and returned to the ocean.

He met a friendly drain fish and followed the current.

Nemo swam as fast as he could and finally reached the familiar reef.

He searched everywhere but couldn’t find Marlin.

Nemo thought his father believed he was gone.

Marlin, meanwhile, heard terrible news: “Nemo is dead.”

Marlin was heartbroken and didn’t want to swim anymore.

Dory tried to comfort him. “You can’t give up.”

Just then, a huge fishing net dropped from above.

Hundreds of fish were trapped inside the net.

Nemo saw his father—and he saw Dory.

Father and son were reunited, but there was no time to hug.

Marlin tried to lead everyone upward to escape.

Nemo shouted, “No! We have to swim down together!”

Marlin hesitated, then chose to trust Nemo.

All the fish swam downward together, and the net finally broke.
