Wonderful mermaids<br />

Can you imagine living in an underwater world? Wouldn’t it be<br />

fantastic to breathe and see clearly as you swim beneath the waves!<br />

Think of all the fun you could have, diving among the ocean creatures<br />

and in and out of caves. How wonderful to be a mermaid!<br />

Mermaids have a human head and body and a fishtail instead of<br />

legs. <strong>The</strong>y are mythical creatures that live only in our imagination. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

are the stars of many stories.<br />

purpose. <strong>The</strong>y would take drowning sailors down to the world of the<br />

mer-people where they would live forever.<br />
