MERMAIDS ARE REAL!

 


In the past, there was a boy named Ivan who lived in Bali, Indonesia. He was always fascinated by aquatic bodies and sea creatures because he grew up in an area surrounded by water. He was unable to study due to a lack of education in Bali, so he became a fisherman. During this period, word spread throughout Indonesia that mermaids are not real, but rather fictional creatures. Ivan was convinced that mermaids existed! Ivan had become a professional fisherman after seven years of fishing in Bali’s coastal areas. One day when he was leaving for sailing as usual daily routine, he had a feeling that something thrilling and mysterious would happen. He went cheerfully and began sailing. The weather abruptly shifted from a beautiful sunny day to a frightening storm. Ivan, on the other hand found the ocean teeming with fish. Some gigantic fish were also seeping in, which was a little frightening. Throughout this, he saw that a fish with an unusually long tail was sailing towards him. Then, all of a sudden, it moved away from him. Ivan made the decision to follow it, and he did so for a long time. Finally, when he thought he could no longer go after the fish, it stopped and so did Ivan. Ivan knew he had gotten fairly far away from the land as he looked around. There were also a lot of creatures with long tails. They all emerged from the sea. They were all mermaids, much to his astonishment! Ivan was taken aback. He observed that they were not attractive as many myths depicted, but rather ugly, terrible beasts. The unlucky fisherman was targeted by a bunch of mermaids. He rushed to the island and was lucky to escape with his life. He told his family and friends about the experience. His version of the narrative included the hideous mermaids, which no one was willing to believe, let alone the reality that they exist in the real world. At the end of the day, everyone assumed that poor Ivan had gone insane.
