But when the Sea Spirit comes she thanks Mariana for saving her baby's life and asks her to look after the tiny girl until she learns to swim. Mariana's life changes: the village children love the mer - girl and discover that the old woman is their friend. Mariana knows that her beloved Merchild must return to live in the sea.
