in #story5 years ago

Sometimes I wonder if some of the stories we hear are real?
If you are Nigerian or African, you will understand that we have a lots of myths told to us by our parents and even relatives alike.

We cannot tell sometimes if this stories we hear are true or untrue but I will tell you one of those stories I heard that we cannot tell if it is true or not.

One of tese stories include that of "Mermaids", that name gives a lot of reaction in people's minds, some hear of it and get very scared while others hear of it and wish to see it.

It is popularly believed that Mermaids are living creatures who live beneath the waters, they are believed to be very strong and powerful creatures. When they like or love you, they bring good fortune, wealth and prosperity but if they do not like you on the other hand, they could cause misery and misfortune.

A colleague just told me about how he saw a mermaid while growing up, he lived in the village with his grandma, and on that faithful day, they were going to the farm when they saw this very pretty fair lady sitting by the side of the river.
His mother quickly covered his face, drew him close as they passed by. He said his mother greeted her but there was no response.
He added that although he was a child, that experience is one that he would never forget.

I was thrilled by his story and I decided to share it with you my friends, enjoy the rest of the day and stay blessed.
