When her turn came, she stayed in the midst of the sea. To her mind, the sea was just as interesting as anything she’d ever heard about the land.
Dolphins sported in the water and occasionally swam up to her, inviting her to join them in dolphin games. Of course, she joined them in their sport, and it was as much fun for Sirena as it was for the dolphins. Flying fish also flitted by her. Flying fish are fun to watch, but they’re more serious and less sociable than dolphins.
Sirena saw distant ships with billowed sails. The seemed a bit like the softly billowing clouds overhead. As the ships slowly passed along the turquoise-colored sea, so the clouds slowly passed along the blue heavens above her.
The clouds were as far from her as the ships were. But the ships, being much smaller than the clouds, looked farther much farther away. Somehow, the distance made the ships seem more pleasing to her.
At the close of day, Sirena decided to bid farewell to her new-found friends, the dolphins. She promised them that she’d look for them the next time she returned to the surface. By their actions and dolphin sounds, the dolphins made it clear to Sirena that they’d like to visit her in the Kingdom of Marbella.
