A young fisherman caught a mermaid by accident in his net one day. According to legend, if you catch a mermaid, if you let her go, she must grant your wish.
“I wish the young lady I like would adore me always,” he said.
“Why does she appeal to you?” the mermaid inquired.
“Because she is the most beautiful girl found anywhere.”
The mermaid thought for some time and gave the boy a mystical ring.
She advised, “Give this ring to the girl with whom you want to spend the rest of your life with, but you must wait one full year from today before it will work,” and she meant it.
When the boy got the ring, he passed a homeless girl on his way home.
“Please, sir,” she said, “Might you at any point save something to eat? In return, I will work for you.”
The boy didn’t have much, but if the girl helped him put away his nets, he would share his food with her. The girl left while the boy climbed into bed and dreamed of his love after they shared his food.
The girl would assist him with the nets every day for a month, and he would share his food with her. Then she vanished one day. When the worried boy went to find her, he discovered her asleep in his fishing shed.
The boy regretted not considering the girl’s sleeping arrangements. He awakened her, let her rest by his fire, and afterward added a space to his home for her.
“You can rest here for the following 11 months,” he told her. ” However at that point, my better half will move in, and you should leave.”
The following day, the young lady was not holding back to assist with his nets, and he was furious.
He responded, “I gave her food and a room, and this is how she repays me?”
He hurriedly entered through his front door after dropping the nets.
The boy couldn’t accept the obvious reality. His little home had never been so perfect. A pot of stew was on the fire, a pile of chopped wood by the fire, and his bed was made and washed.
The boy felt ashamed once more. The girl had put in a lot of effort all day and made his house look better than it had ever been.
The boy climbed into his clean bed and dreamed of his love while the girl left for her room after they ate together.
The boy would ask the girl to stay and talk with him before they both went to sleep in their rooms over the course of the months. They shared accounts of their families, and the boy talked about the entire love.
The boy then awoke one morning to find the girl standing by the door with her belongings under her arm.
“What are you engaged in?” inquired the boy.
She declared, “I must leave because it is time for you to marry your love.”
It hadn’t occurred to the boy that a full year had passed. He ran to the village to find his love after grabbing the ring. The boy noticed that she looked exactly the same when he found her, but he no longer felt the same way.
He then dashed back to his house and pursued the girl.
“Have you found love yet?” she inquired.
The boy replied, “Yes and no,” saying, “I found an ordinary girl in the village, but now that I am with you, I know I have found my love.” “Yes and no,” he added.
Thus, the boy gave the young lady his ring, and they spent their other coexistences.
Moral of Young Mermaid and The Fisherman Story
