boats made Of glass through which
they could see right down to the
bottom of the lake, which was very
deep. The Mermaid Fairies and the
Fishes were all Swimming around
waiting for them, and when they came
all the Fishes fins wiggled with pleas

their beautiful hair with excitement.

Pickerel, which meant delighted to
see you

splashed for all they were worth

given a welcome to the Fairies.
"The Fairies sailed about In their
boat which went under the water as

their glass port holes and swim
around with great glee.

Pickerel. When say one, two, three,
