Clarence's reply)

Don't be sad, it's all for you.

The author has something to say: Asa is a mermaid who likes to give gifts, but he's a bit shy about receiving them ;-)

Tenth letter

Dear Mr. Clarence:

Didn't expect to hear from you so soon.

When I got your reply, I was just off to the garden to trim the red weeping willows (check out my crinoids by the way, I almost forgot about them during the time I was grieving for the prince, it was my sister who tended them, I wonder if they were offended by my indifference).As soon as I went out, I saw the dolphins swimming back from a distance.Seeing me, they huddled together happily, and then rushed forward to show me your reply letter.

I couldn't wait to take the letter, and as soon as I opened it, I stayed in place at a loss for the words inside (I even felt that the fonts suddenly twisted like sea snakes, and I seemed to not recognize them in an instant).

What do you mean by "may" in your letter?I didn't understand it at first, but I guess you mean that I have the opportunity to thank you in person for the last sentence I contacted you?You also said that you are coming here, right?God!This is so unexpected to me!I haven't prepared anything for you yet!

I think I must go and tell everyone now, hurry up and get fully prepared for your arrival.The dance halls need to be cleared (you know there's going to be a big ball waiting for you), and the great shells on the roads need to be lit (their blue flames are so beautiful, like the phosphorous fires of the land).Oh, and the blue trees in the garden needed a new pruning too, and the amber windows, which hadn't been wiped down in ages (how negligent of me to have done so much).Do you like coral beds?Maybe I can pick a pearl to illuminate you, I don't know if you will like it... By the way, I will also invite some mermaids with beautiful singing voices.Can you tell me what kind of songs you like?In this way, when you step into the palace, they will sing your favorite song to welcome you (what to do, I feel that everything is in a hurry and there is no time to prepare. I hope you will not be hurt by our neglect unpleasant).

The thought of seeing you soon brings a warm current to my heart.I seemed to be lying on the seabed of the shallow sea, caressed by the sun.I am so looking forward to it!I was too excited to sleep!As soon as I close my eyes, I can't help drawing your image in my mind.I think, you must have the most elegant demeanor and the wisest appearance in the ocean!

Finally, I want to tell you a very serious matter. Please correct your attitude when you see this, and read my following words carefully.

Cough... What I want to say is that I must criticize you severely, you must not feed so many things to the dolphins next time!I touched them today, and their stomachs are rounder than before. If this continues, they will become angry pufferfish (I can't imagine that the long mouth of a dolphin is matched with a round belly ...that would be horrible)!

Please remember my warning, if you make this mistake again, I will definitely punish you (you must take it seriously, I am not kidding).

Really looking forward to seeing you there (by the way, did you come with the octopus? If so, that would be great! To be honest, I miss its shyness).I will send dolphins to meet you at the border of the kingdom.

OK, already on the way.

The author has something to say: two mermaids are going to meet ;-)

First letter

Dear Poseidon:

Hello!My name is Asa, and I'm an unremarkable mermaid in the mermaid kingdom, but I think I might be a little different this time, because I must be the first mermaid in the ocean to write to you (think of this , I actually feel a little happy, please forgive my frivolity).

You must be wondering why I am writing to you.I know this is offensive, but after thinking about it and thinking about it, I finally decided that it would be more appropriate to tell you these words.I hope you can forgive my reckless and impulsive decision.

And I think... um... you have to deal with so many wishes and requests in the ocean every day, such a huge workload, it must be boring at times.You might as well look at it like this, I will tell you a little bit about me every day, and you can take it as a kind of pleasant adjustment, so that you can relax.What do you think of this proposal?

If you don't agree, give me a sign so I know you don't want to hear my story, and stop writing.

I will close my eyes and wait for a few minutes. If you disagree, you must give me a sign. No matter what the decision is, I am happy to accept it.

When I opened my eyes, I saw nothing.I think, you already agree, right?Oh, you are such a kind sea god, you are actually willing to listen to my troubles in your busy schedule, I feel that I respect you even more.

Now I'm going to tell my story.It's actually quite simple: I was allowed to surface on my 15th birthday to see land, and in the process, I fell in love with a human being, a noble prince.It's been a sweet love affair (though only on my side).You can't imagine how beautiful the prince is. As soon as I see his dark eyes, bright smile, and long legs like a swan, my fish tail will lose its strength and even swing all day long. Can't get up (please don't laugh at me, I think this is the magic of love).

As beautiful as this relationship was, there was also something that terrified me—I was madly infatuated with the prince, but didn't know how to get him to respond.After thinking hard, I couldn't find any possible solution.In desperation, I chose to seek help from the greatest wizard in the ocean, Mr. Clarence.I wrote to him with the mentality that it was impossible to get a reply, but I did not expect to receive a reply!It was an unexpected surprise!Mr. Clarence is a very gentle mermaid who patiently listened to my concerns and tried to help me figure out how to deal with them.He also gave me a lot of presents!So many beautiful and novel gifts!He is so kind!

Although the process of seeking help is very happy, the story always has an ending. Unfortunately, I became one of the tragedies-the prince has another love.The moment I lost the prince, my heart was about to burst into bubbles, and I felt like I had lost the meaning of existence.I let myself wallow in grief, but my grandmother and sisters pulled me back.They were there for me and lifted me up with tenderness and love.And Mr. Clarence, who, as soon as he heard the news of my failed love affair, did everything in his power to help me.He sent me a huge number of gifts and wrote many letters to comfort me, which moved me very much!

Now, Mr. Clarence is coming to the mermaid kingdom where I am a guest, and a new trouble arises--I am afraid that I will not be able to entertain him well.You know, Mr. Clarence is a person I admire very much. As soon as I received the news that he was coming as a guest, I began to become uneasy, always worried that there would be something wrong, which would make Mr. Clarence unhappy.But I can't tell him these troubles, it's too impolite.So after thinking about it, I decided to tell you.I hope you don't mind my words.

Tomorrow I shall see Mr. Clarence.At that time, I will write to you again with the details (I am so excited, I may not be able to sleep tonight).

Shouldn't hear back from you, but that's okay.

Sincerely Asa

Second letter

Dear Poseidon:

As agreed, I will give you an account of my meeting with Mr. Clarence.

Before I can tell you, I must express my feelings (I can't help it), meeting Clarence was a memory I will never forget.If I can, I even want to scream into the sky to express the agitation in my heart (I think a whale is not as sharp as my voice).

Well, let me seriously recall the whole process.

On the day Mr. Clarence arrived, the weather at the bottom of the sea was very bright (I know you must be surprised that there will be weather at the bottom of the sea, but it was such a day, and even the seaweed on the roadside was more energetic than ever).In order to make full preparations for the reception, my grandmother and my sisters and I came to the gate of the palace early to wait for Mr. Clarence's arrival.After a while, the dolphins swimming freely appeared in my field of vision; then, there was an octopus swaying its tentacles behind (it was Mr. Clarence's gatekeeper); finally, the outline of Mr. Clarence appeared completely Come out (when I saw it, I was so nervous that I almost stopped breathing).

The moment Mr. Clarence swam towards me, I froze in shock for a split second—he was even more handsome than I had imagined!Mr. Clarence's eyes were much darker than the Prince's dark eyes.When he turned his gaze to me, my fish tail couldn't help but go limp.In those black eyes I have seen the rise and fall of the stars, the change of the sea, and the knowledge beyond measure.For the first time, I realized that there would really be a mermaid, even if all the seabed
