    looked again the woman and the chi(e)ld had disappeared.
    The same man was in the same place another day he saw a girl standing at the brink of the wave. He thought it was a girl that was drowning herself. He thought to jump out and save her, but when she saw him coming she jumped out into the water and disappeared. She was a mermaid.
