    This is another story of a mermaid. One day there were two girls standing near the sea and they saw what they thought a lovely woman in it. She appeared to be drowning and was shaking her hand for help. After a short time calling for help the two girls went in to save her and got drowned.
    Ever since that day there is some sign put up how no person will go near the sea while it is up or they are in danger of being drowned.
