I would like to tell you a story about a mermaid. It started like this.
Last summer my parents, my friend and I went to the lake for a weekend. We found a nice place on the bank near the forest. It was getting dark and we decided to make a fire. When the moon came on, the moonshine fallen on the surface of the lake.
Suddenly we heard a splash. We looked at the lake and saw a beautiful girl with long hear. She was swimming and diving in the water. We thought that it was somebody from the nearest camp, but whet the girl jumped out of the water, we noticed a long fish tale.
Oh, it wasa mermaid! We couldn`t believe our eyes and rushed to the lake. I wanted to take pictures, but she dived and disappeared. Finally my parents and friends came back to the fire, but I was staying at the bank and waiting for the strange creature for sometime. But it didn`t appear.
