The small girl sits at the bottom of the ocean, watching the boys on the boat pull in their nets. She knows that the nets are dangerous, that the men are not supposed to see her. But there is something about watching them pull in their nets full of fish and crabs and sea life that makes her happy and sad, all at the same time.
Her friends grow tired of the game and wander off to play hide and seek but she stays, watching them, wondering what it must feel like to have toes. Do they ever itch? Are they ticklish?
In a sudden instant, a net floats by and somehow tangles itself in her hair.

"LOOK OUT MERMAID! THOSE NETS ARE DANGEROUS!" Ooops, sorry, I'm not supposed to yell out during the story. I like where this is going.
Careful, Ariel!
