The Mermaid of Dusty Gulch

Once upon a time, a mermaid named Marina swam too far from the sea. She found a strange town called Dusty Gulch. The people there were very surprised. They had never seen a mermaid before.

Marina liked the town, but she did not like the hot sun. She wanted to find the river, but it was dry. A man named Bart said, "I can help you find water." But Bart was a trickster. He made a big trap with a net and a rope.
