Angel and Blossom -- two little girls,
mermaid and human,
born on the same day (but different places of course),
in the first story,
meet at beach,
become friends although families do not approve,
each feels the others cannot be trusted,
joined efforts to save a stranded whale,
families learn they can be friends.
Second story about Angel and Blossom,
the two girls meet again after a winter apart,
both families decide to celebrate the Vernal Equinox at the shore,
Angel's family comes into the shallows to gather seaweed flowers,
Blossom's family comes to the beach to go for a row.
The girls see each other and talk about the special day.
Each has an old family story about the Vernal Equinox
being the one day when different creatures can speak to one another,
by going to a special place.
Each story only gives part of the puzzle,
but together they give all of it.
What will it let them do?
Third story,
now that they have the special place and the special flowers,
they can talk to other creatures.
the girls meet Scales, a singing dragon,
who is quite at home on land, sea or air.
Scales can take each of them farther into
the world of the other.
They visit the deep sea and high mountains.
Scales and his family live in a hidden valley
in the high mountains,
because people were always afraid and chased them,
and they had no way to talk to humans,
and explain they wanted to be friends.
But now they will be able to.
My very first one,
first of a series of bedtime stories for
my son.
Read a poem in progress.
The New Kerosene Lamp.
