A fairy tale

By the sea lived a fisherman and his children. The fisherman sailed out everyday to fish, providing for his family. The children left behind often worried: would their father return with enough food, or would the stormy sea somehow take him away? Windstorms and hurricanes were frequent, claiming many boats. They often asked their father, "What can we do? When can we join you at sea?" The father always smiled quietly, gently touching their soft hair and small hands. Only a few times did he say, "Don't worry. Your mother is a mermaid. If I'm delayed, that's because she misses me so much that she wants me to stay with her a little longer."

一位渔夫，他有一双儿女。他们住在海边。渔夫每天驾船出海捕渔，来养活家庭。被留在岸上的这对姐弟总是很担心，既担心父亲带不回足够的食物，他们要挨饿，又担心莫测的大海把父亲带走。海边常有飓风和海啸，许多船只就在这样的天气里一去不返。姐弟俩经常问父亲，“我们能做什么?我们何时能和你一起出海?“渔夫总是微笑着不说话，抚摸过他们软软的头发和小小的手。只有那么几次，他说：“你们不要担心，你们的母亲是一条美人鱼，如果我哪天没有及时回来，那是因为你们的母亲太想念我，想留我多住几天。“
