Once upon a time in a faraway land there lived a family of royalty. There was a king, queen, and two twin princess.The princesses didn't like to be cooped up in their castle all day. They longed to be swimming in the pond with all of their friends. But the queen had said,"Princesses should be spending their days in the castle, where they belong." The princesses didn't like it, but they knew they had to obey their mother, for she was the queen.
One day an old peasent man came and knocked on the castle doors. "I will grant you each one wish if you give me shelter from the bitter cold night," he told the pincesses.The princesses beleived in magic, so they let the man in, and asked if their whole family could live in the water, so the man gave them tails, and cat the to the ocean. Of course, the king nd queen were furios, but they soon learne to love the water as much as their daughters.
Now, whenever you go to the beach, and hear that sound of the wind in the waves, that is really the sound of the whispering mermaid family. And if you really beleive in them, you never have to worry about getting in a ship wreck at sea. You'll never see them, but the song of the mermaids will guide you to safety.
The End
