Ye all may think that mermaids do not exist. They do, I tell ye. I will
tell ye my story about this mysterious creature.
One hot summer day, we was all busy working on the deck. It was my job
to tar the mainmast's ratlines. I got distracted by the beautiful sky
and the calm, tranquil waves of the sea.
Suddenly, I saw something
green flip out of the water and then swim back down into the brine.
Now I was curious,
so I cautiously climbed down the ratlines and peered over the edge of
the boat. I saw the figure again, and tried to focus on what it was. I
thought
it might be a mermaid, for they do have scaly, green flippers, it be
said.
With my
second glance at the creature, I also saw long, red hair that trailed
behind it as it swam. The glimpse revealed to me that it was, indeed, a
mermaid!
At this point, I was very excited and I hauled over to the
rest of the crew to tell them what I had seen, saying, "Avast
ye shipmates! Ye all must take a gander at this."
I brought them over to the spot where I saw her, and just then she
leaped out of the water, just like a dolphin. We watched her for a long
time
that day, and every time we called out for her, she would leap into the
air for a split second.
Many times when we came near the area of the mermaid, she
would swim alongside the ship and shake her fins like raging
propellers. Although I never got to speak to her, because she rose from
the water for only a short time, I felt that she could understand
everything that I was saying to her. It was amazing, indeed.
Now ye all have heard my
embellished tale about the mermaid I once saw. Perhaps one day you,
too, may see her, if ye can face the mighty strength and beauty of the
seas.
I hope you liked this! I had a lot of fun writing it. ;)
