The Mermaid's Secret

  The mermaids live deep in the middle of the ocean. They had lived there for over 100 years. They never really took any interest in the humans living on land. Once and awhile one of the mermaids would peer above the surface of the water onto the land. Sometimes the humans would see different parts of a mermaid, like her glistening tail, and then they would be curious. 

  One day the humans decided to look for the mermaids. They built two large ships and sailed away. They went ten miles into the ocean before they sent out five scuba  divers. When the scuba divers found the mermaid's kingdom they looked in every house and room until they found every mermaid. The mermaids were very frightened. Then they realized that the humans were very nice.

  The mermaids made friends with the humans quickly. When the humans had to go back to their ships they promised not to tell anyone else about the mermaids.The scuba divers came back to the mermaids kingdom often and never told the mermaid's secret.
