A gannet and a sea duck were arguing over whether mermaids exist or not. They decided to search the bottom of the sea. They dived deep down under the sea. First, they saw colourful fish, then medium-sized fish and then large fish. Soon, they dived so deep in the sea that they could not see anything due to the darkness. Both the birds got terribly scared and immediately returned to the surface. The duck decided to carry a torch in the next trip. The two birds started their journey again. When they reached deep into the sea, they switched on their torch. When the dark sea was lit up, they saw that they were surrounded by mermaids. The mermaids told them that they thought the gannet and the duck were scared, because last time they left so quickly! But when they returned, the mermaids became very happy. They congratulated them on their bravery. At last, the gannet and the duck became great friends with the mermaids.
