BR 1-01: Stories of Mermaids (Russell, 2005)

Favorite line       " I can' take any more! " said Gingerbeard.

review
There are three stories of mermaids. My favorite story is the marmaid whose mother falls ill. The marmaid's name is Harmony. It is need polkadot seaweed, taken twice a day for one week to cure her mother. It only grows in the Pirates' Graveyard. They say it is haunted by the ghost of Gingerbeard. He was the fiercest pirate to sail the Seven Seas. The marmaid go there with fear. She swims nervously between the creepy wrecks. When she found it, a terrifying figure appeared from nowhere. It was Gingerbeard's ghost. He thought Harmony went here to steal his treasure, so he locked her in a cabin. Harmony tried to cheer herself up by singing., but all her songs came out sounding sad. While he listened her voice, he began to feel as sorry for Harmony. After a week of the singing, Gingerbeard had had enough. He sobbed "I can't take any more!" and "Please just go home and take this chest with you." Harmony swam home as fast as she could. Her mother was cured. There were handfuls of coins in the chest. They thanks to his gold, and moved into a warm and  cosy new cave.

The Gingerbeard is sad the fiercest pirate to sail the Seven Seas, but I think he is kind. He was moved Harmony's singing. He feld sorry for her and gave chest. If he is bad man, he didn't do that. He would locked her for a long time. I also think Harmony's voice must be very beautiful. Her song made Gingerbeard changed. I would hear  her voice if I were able to go to that world.
