How's it going, smarty pants? As you can hear, I'm near the ocean. In fact, I'm at the docks

looking for a boat to take us all out to sea. I just need to find a sea captain.

Hey, watch where you're going. Oh, sorry, I didn't see you. It gets pretty foggy around here,

is at your service. Wonderful, and this might seem like a crazy coincidence,

but I'm actually looking to learn more about mermaids. Mermaids, yes, say.

landlubbers alike since the Stone Age. But when did the legends of mermaids first begin? Are they

real? Or imagine? Has anyone ever seen one? And are all mermaids good or some wicked? Oh,

not just mermaids. I want to know about mermaids and mermaids too, and any kind of murf folk.
