Mermaid Story

Chapter 1

      I was once a human, but now I am one of the few mermaids that is still swimming in the vast ocean. And this is my story...

       It all started when my family and I boarded a huge cruise on the ship called Smoer. I was jumping like a squirrel with my little sister, Rose. We jumped until a stern old woman told us, "Stop jumping, you disgraceful young ladies!" And we of course started laughing so hard until our stomachs hurt. Our parents were amazed by designs inside of the Smoer. Our family was escorted to our first class bedroom.

      That room was humongous! Even bigger than one of our rooms in our mansion in Paris! Rose leapt onto the soft mattress of the lower bunk of the bunkbed, and I flung myself onto the higher bunk. Our parents stared at us for a moment and burst out laughing. They, too, flung themselves on the king-size bed. After that, we carried on to check out the bathroom. It has two huge bath tubes, a shower room, a white linen cloth that separates it from the fitness room, and it already includes shampoo, conditioner, and fourteen bars of lavender soap. Wow, it's big!
