The Little Merman p I pg 9

Yeah, totally seduced you over here with my sexy sea flute playing so I could give you another shell that you will probably lose long before you even return home from this vacation. Remember, to always have this shell on you if you are planning to go to a large body of salt water, which is crucial for our next meeting in a few years. But don't worry! I trust you will recognize me then, I will be tall with long black hair for some reason and oddly mute due to the long speech I have just given you. 

....... Yep, it totally realistic.

But seriously, I love the story!
