The True Story of the Mermaids of the Lagoon
A short bedtime version — one screen. Read it aloud together.
Everyone remembers the mermaids as pretty. They were. That was rather the trouble.
They lay on the combing rocks in Mermaids' Lagoon and braided their hair with pearl foam, and they sang in the evenings, and if you were a sailor and you heard them, you rowed towards the singing. Nobody rowed back.
They were rude to Wendy. They were rude to everyone.
There was only one person in all of Neverland they would tolerate, and he never noticed that it was a compliment, because he never noticed anything of the kind. Peter said they were the loveliest things on the island. He was right.
But loveliness is not the same thing as kindness. And in Neverland, the sweetest song in the water is very rarely a welcome.
