Handsome and the Mermaid
HANDSOME AND THE MERMAID
In a remote village
There lived a handsome boy
That has come of age
He likes to play toy.
One day, he sat on a tree buttress
Near a beautiful river
Resting after taking his bath
In the river.
He awoke a mermaid
Which lives inside the river
Where he took his bath
He stood shivering when he saw the mermaid.
The mermaid told him to marry her
And the boy replied
“You are half human and half fish”
So how can I marry you?
