    Folklore
    There was a man living near the the sea long ago. One day he was by the shore, and he saw a lovely mermaid coming out of the water. He loved her. The next morning he watched her. She had a magic wand and he took it off of her. She had no power then. They were married and had five children. One day she found the wand and went off to the sea and was never heard of again.
