“3 Euros for a Coke? Are you crazy?” she screamed.
“I too need to earn something, you know, I’m not a celebrity like you,” the delivery man shouted right back.
“Just because I’m famous doesn’t mean I’m made of money,” she commented acerbically.
“What about the films? The TV Series? Don’t give me that BS,” he countered.
“You know what I got for all that? A big fat egg, that’s what. Now go away, I don’t want your Coke, you’re a meanie, just like that Walter fellow,” the Little Mermaid wailed as she dove back into the murky water.

Five out of five seashells from me. All that fame and no fortune.
Unfortunately true. Thank you so much for the sea shells Russell

Dear Anurag,
I wonder if they pay her in clams? Cute and imaginative story.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you so much Rochelle
So funny. I wonder how far she’ll get through the murk before she needs to come up for air. I doubt it will be very refreshing 😦
Ha ha ha. Thank you so much Sarah Ann.

Great final ending. the poor little mermaid
Thank you so much Michael
Love the twist at the end.
Thank you so much granonine
I think its better she didn’t take the coke. Less trash in the ocean. Delightful twist at the end. Disney’s Little Mermaid was my favourite.
Thank you so much Fatima.
