People the world over tell tales of sirens and mermaids�� In Germany strange, beautiful women-- only part human -- are said to sit on rocks in the Rhine River, singing sweet songs�� Any man who listens to them will go out of his mind�� In Italian legends, mermaids come ashore, marry men, and bear them children�� But in time, these mermaid wives desert their husbands and take their children away to the depth of the ocean�� The Chinese say the mermaids pass their time weaving�� When they weep, their tears turn into pearls��
Despite all stories, no one has ever captured one of these strange beings -- alive or dead�� A man once claimed to have found a mermaid�� The creature he displayed did indeed look half human, half fish�� But closer inspection showed that it was nothing but the head and shoulders of a dried monkey and the tail of a fish -- sewn together by the cunning faker!
