Mermaids in a Lake

One morning Pearl and Marigold were out near a lake.

Pearl said, "I think we should go swimming. Let's go and get bathing suits."

Marigold said, "That's a great idea; we should go and do that. But, first we have to see if there is anything dangerous in the lake."

"Right," said Pearl. The two girls returned to their stone hut, which was near the lake, to get their bathing suits. Suddenly, when they stepped into the lake Pearl and Marigold screamed. Their legs were turning into sparkling rainbow fins.

Marigold said, "I think we are mermaids. Do you think we can breathe underwater? Let's find out and go swimming underwater." The two girls dove into the water, quickly discovering they could breathe underwater.
