The Mermaid
I turned to my love and said:
I am a Mermaid
A Mermaid? My love replied
You are a woman
No
I am a Mermaid!
OK, I will indulge you
WHY are you a Mermaid?, my love asked
I answered:
A Mermaid has no tears, and therefore she suffers more than any woman
...............................
You see?
Yes
I see, replied my love
(And then he put his arms around me)
