The Maiden of Narvacan Pond

On a road, going toward the ocean, there is a little bridge. The bridge crosses a pond that flows beneath it. Next to the pond, is the house of a doctor.

One night, the doctor heard the sound of a woman weeping outside of his window. He looked out the window, catching a glimpse of a beautiful woman's silhouette, sitting at the banks of the pond. Feeling a deep sorrow in his heart, he decided to go down and console her.

When he got outside, and approached the weeping woman a quarter way around the pond, she looked up at him. She was a very stunning lady, with long black hair that covered her bosoms. She seemed to be wearing a long skirt that was dipped into the water, along with her feet.

"Oh sir," she said. "Please help me!"

He answered, "What shall I do for you, miss?"

"Please come with me!" She said with urgency.

At the moment he would say "where" he saw her raise her legs. Where he expected feet to be was a tail of a fish! He stared in shock and ran away.

From that point on, he knew that she was a mermaid. A few months later, there was news of a young man who drowned in the pond. The police report said there was no sign of struggle on his body. But, the doctor knew that young man fell for the allure of the mysterious maiden of the pond.
