- Once upon a time a man went out fishing and left his son on the bank until he would come in.
When the man was out a while his his son told him to come in that he saw a mermaid. When you are out at sea you have only a narrow chance to escape from drowning, if you see one.
The man hurried in to get to the cliff. He was almost at the top of the cliff when a big Ground Sea came and swept him away.
