Text Appearing Before Image:
rrupted me,that you all belong to me, because I have saved your lives.By the law of the ocean you must obey me in everything. The sailor scowled a little at hearing this, but Trotlaughed, and said: The law of the ocean is nt our law, cause we live onland. Just now you are living in the ocean, declared Anko,and as long as you live here, you must obey my commands. What are your commands? inquired the child. Ah; thats the point I was coming to, returned the King,with his comical smile. The ocean is a beautiful place, andwe who belong here love it dearly. In many ways its a nicerplace for a home than the earth, for we have no sunstrokes,mosquitoes, earthquakes or candy shops to bother us. But Iam convinced that the ocean is no proper dwelling place forearth people, and I believe the mermaids did an unwise thingwhen they invited you to visit them. I dont, protested the girl. We ve had a fine time;have nt we, Capn BillV Well, its been difFrent from what I expected, ad-mitted the sailor. 224
Text Appearing After Image:
The Sea Fairies Our only thought was to give the earth people pleasure,your Majesty, pleaded Aquareine. I know; I know, my dear Queen; and it was very goodof you, replied Anko. But, still it was an unwise act, forearth people are as constantly in danger under water as wewould be upon the land. So, having won the right to com-mand you all, I order you to take little Mayre and Capn Billstraight home, and there restore them to their natural forms.Its a dreadful condition, I know, and they must each havetwo stumbling legs instead of a strong, beautiful fishtail; butit is the fate of earth dwellers, and they cannot escape it. In my case, your Majesty, made it one leg, suggestedCapn Bill. Ah, yes; I remember. One leg, and a wooden stick tokeep it company. I issue this order, my friends, not becauseI am not fond of your society, but to keep you from gettinginto more trouble in a country where all is strange and un-natural to you. Am I right, or do you think I am wrong 1 You re quite correct,
