The plump mermaid took the pearl around my neck and then adjusted it to set it on the harp. The pearl fitted perfectly upon the harp.She plucked a chord to play a single note. The harp revived in a beautiful tone. The mermaids who were gathered noisily hushed their chatting all of a sudden. The plump mermaid began to play some wonderful music on the harp. The noise of clamor changed into stillness even before one noticed. The mermaids began to sing to the music. Their songs become harmony, spreading all throughout the sea cove.The rock began shining.The singing voices became louder and louder.After sometime, the rock had returned into the two legendary mermaids.The harp was playing a tune on its own now.The talkative chatting mermaids were truly joyful for the legendary mermaids to be back, and welcomed them as they sang and danced at the same time.Their song had become a great big vibration and echoed throughout the mountains. |
