Legend of the

golden mermaid
By Anay Basurto
On a beach on the coast there is a legend of a mermaid that is enchanted, that each one who accepts and wins
the affection of this mermaid will have what they want, it is said that this mermaid comes out very few times
and that she is beautiful, with a hairstyle full of pearls and diamonds, with a golden tail and that when the sun
rises she shines more than anything else. Many sinners have been looking for this mermaid with the goal of
lying to her and behaving well with her but the only thing is that they only want to approach her out of
ambition.
Many rumors say that if they lie to her, she takes them to the bottom of the sea and turns it into
stone to shelter some animals there. One man tells that he has seen her and that he has no way to
describe her and that he even almost won her affection, that she is very kind and friendly and that
she took him to a beautiful place that he had never seen before, that he could see all kinds of
precious stones shining and that the water was the clearest water he had ever seen.
