• Racing to the place i know i'll be safe. there the waterfall. Quickly I take off my socks and shoes and roll up my skirt and I sink my feet in the waterfall's little creek. for a moment I sit there and listen to the waterfall's roar. then i feel a tug on my leg. I open my eyes and see a hand yanking at my leg. then all of a sudden the hand moved away. suddenly i hear a loud "boo!" comming out of the water. I sheiked and almost fliped right over the rock. but before I could hit the grass i could feel a moist hand gently pulling my legs to make sure i dont fall. right then i could see the face, a soft gentle face smiling at me.then i realized that i had my skirt up. then the person or creature began to say some thing but before i gave it a chance i got up pulled my skirt down and left.

    the next morning i walked over the the waterfall to look for my socks and shoes. as i crept up, i could hear something swishing in the water. "swish, swish" then i found my shoes. so i picked them up and started to walk away.then all of the sudden i heard someone say "hey I've seen you before!"
    I turned slowly around and saw the face i saw the day before."ok i can do this." i said to myself. so i walked slowly to the figure and said "so, whqat are you?" the figure laughed and said "well I'm a merman."
