MARIA

Episode 2

Maria and Anna were swimming towards furey, the most vegetative part of of sea when maria looked up towards the surface of the sea and asked Anna. "Mom? why are we forbidden to go up to the surface?" "because it is very dangerous at the surface" Anna answered. "what's dangerous about it?" she asked again. "there are humans up there". Anna said. "what are humans?" Maria asked looking so curious. "Humans are land creatures that dislike mermaid. they assumed we will harm them". Anna explained hoping maria won't ask anymore questions. "what are humans like?" Maria asked again. wondering why maria is so interested in humans and surface Anna stopped, she turned to Maria and explained " humans are like we with a few difference. they..." what difference mom?" Maria asked interrupting Anna. "Allow me to explain" Anna said. "They have legs instead of tail and cannot breath under water like we do". "Legs?? Mom? does it mean I'm also a human since I can posses legs sometimes"..... "NO!!" Anna snapped quickly looking around hoping no one heard that. "you ain't human and no one! absolutely No One! should come to knw that u have the ability to turn ur tail into legs. Do u hear me?? Anna said in a low tone strictly warning Maria not to mention anything about her legs again. "Yes mom" Maria answered bowing her head down in respect.

Maria and her mom Anna swim to furey, got few of sea plant and swim back home. At home Maria couldn't wrap her mind off what her Mom said about the surface. she wanted to confirm if humans are really as bad as her mom said and so, rebelliously set out to swim up to the surface without the knowledge of anyone under the sea.

On reaching the surface, the first thing she saw was Mr. Job fishing boat, wondering what it was she swum closer to the boat while swimming Mr. Job saw her tail and thought it to be a big fish and so he cast his net into the sea which unfortunately caught her......
