The fresh air of morning cooled down the atmosphere. She was sitting on the edge of the lake, deep in thought about all kind of things. She wondered about life, she wondered if only humans and animals and plants were living on this planet, about the secrets of life.
She smiled when the breeze had blown and liked the feeling she had gotten. She let herself half slowly on her back among the wild wonderful flowers she loved so much. Beautiful like a flower, that’s how she was.
Sleep overwhelmed her soon enough and she fell in a light baby-like sleep.
The depths of Loch Ness were hiding many mysteries and secrets.
‘Oy, Nessie lassie, keep yer voice down. We wouldn’t like to wake up the dead.’  A voice heard somewhere on the lake surface.
The monster looked down at the waters straight into a man’s eyes. The man threw himself forward, revealing his fishlike tale. Swimming towards the shore, the man noticed the girl that as asleep among the flowers. He looked curiously at her feet.  
‘Do the’ walk on thos’ things?’ he asked himself. ‘ It seems  impossible to walk against gravity on thos’  bare things. We look the same from head to belly, but I am no sure on the inside.’ Nessie titled his head and placed it next by him, her long heck floating on the surface. The man pat her head lovingly. Sometimes he thought that he was her only friend.
She opened her eyes and focused her eyes on the lake. She saw the man and blinked, confused. Thinking that she was seeing things, she closed her eyes again and re-opened them. The man with the tail was still there. She sat up and walked towards the water slowly.
Lost in his thoughts, he hadn’t noticed her approaching.
Her eyes widened as she watched the picture of something she never thought existed.
Now back from him dream land, he widened his eyes seeing her and gasped.
‘Very interested about her, he had forgotten about her being a human and looked up at her bright eyes and wonderful body.
‘Aye, lassie, whit are ye daeing her’?’
‘Not much.’ she said and sat by the shore.
He swum towards a rock and sat down on it, then turned to her. ‘Surprised?’
‘A bit, I have never seen a merman before in my entire life.’
‘Ther’s always time to learn. Tak tent o time ere time taks tent of thee.’
‘That is so right.’
As they were talking, time seemed to be stopping, but in fact, it was flying away on a pigeon wing. Talking to the merman was such a pleasure.
The man looked straight into her eyes and noticed the fire within her. He smiled. The people of who he was afraid of gifted him with a wonderful being to talk to, and he loved it. He had never thought that he would even see a human being, and now he was talking to one.
‘Lassie, tell me, how are humans lik’?’ ‘Well, human beings can me very malicious and mean. But a true hart can be found inside a few human chests.
‘Then, I guess humans are like any other being, including us.’ ‘If you saw so, laddie.’
‘How do humans walk on thes’ things?’ he asked pointing towards her feet.
‘It’s pretty easy walking on feet.’
‘Feee--- what?’
‘Feet. One foot two feet.’
‘Is it hard to learn?’ ‘Not really, we learn pretty easy.’
‘How does it feel? I heard it hurts.’ ‘Oh no way! No pain at all!’
He nodded, listening to her, very interested. She smiled ‘The water’s cold this season, sadly.’ She said in a low voice.
;A wee, but believe me, yer  gonna get used to et quickly. The water does get colder and colder as you go to the bottom, but it’s ok, at least for our kind.’
‘How is the underwater world?’’ she asked.
‘Wet and pretty.’ He said, splashing water with his tail. ‘I bet it is wet’ she giggled.
‘’I wish I could show it to you, but apparently, humans cannot breath under water, ‘an em?’
‘No, sadly not. ‘ ‘I thought so. None of yer kind ever came to see us.’
‘5 minutes without air and we are dead…’ ‘Dat explain’ a lo’.’
‘I wish I could visit your world. I think it would be very nice.’ ‘Believe me, it is.’
‘Humans know much about the seas, I wonder why they haven’t discovered your world.’
‘Lassie, ye human’ kno’ nothin’ ‘bout us. Ye ‘now only a wee bit of the thing’ in da seas and oceans.’
‘Why do you think so?’ ‘We see daily animals that ye never discovered. In fact, I think we ‘now about eash other’s worlds as much. I \now about yer as much as ye know about mine.’
‘Yer right.’ She smiled, then blushed, realizing the change in her accent.’
‘Changing yer accent , are ye? Like a fish scale in the current.’
She blushed redder and looked down at his tale.
A sudden idea came into her mind and she looked at him. ‘May I touch your tail please?’ she asked. ‘I guess. It’s fishy, trough.’ She bent down and slowly passed her hand over his tail. She gasped and retained her hand, but then she continued. He smiled ‘It feels nice. It really does, lassie.’ She smiled too, her cheeks coming back to their original colour.
‘What do you eat?’
‘Fish, mostly. It’s pretty plain…’ ‘Oh, I see. We have various food.’
The sun was shining and the birds were singing lovely songs while sitting on the branches of the trees nearby.
He looked up at the sky and blinked. ‘Such a nice day. No storm on the sea and no rain. Unusual for this time of year.’ She nodded ‘Apparently, the whole U.K.  has had this kind of weather for about a week now. The clouds seem to have vanished into thin air.’
‘Oh, how I wish it was so. If it doesn’t rain ‘ere, et sure does 6 miles away.’
‘Wanna swi’ wit’ me?’ he asked. She jumped in surprise, un-expecting his voice.  ‘I don’t have my swim suit with me. And if I did, wouldn’t Nessie be jealous enough to eat me whole?’ she smiled.
‘Nessie? No way, no, she wouldn’t do such things.’ He said patting the monster’s head.
They really were enjoying their talk.
