- Ah, if you could speak, my beautiful fish, you would tell me your
sorrow. And Shua answered her:
- My princess with eyes of pearl, I can speak, but don't be afraid.
The princess very astonished smiled and told him:
- It's wonderful! What can I do to make you happy?
- Your kindness saved me from the ostentation of the New Year celebration. However ...
- However? asked the princess.
- I would like to see again the ocean, to return to the warn sea; I would like to feel the blue water which cherishes my scales, to swim at any speed, feeling free and full of joy. If you released me, princess, i will carry out a wish to you.
