This English mermaid story for kids was written by Abbie Phillips Walker.  Little Hilda was a sailor's daughter and lived in a little cottage near the shore. Her father used to go on long voyages. She used to spin and knit while her father was away. She was very fond of water so she would often go fishing or stare at the blue depths of the ocean to try to see a mermaid. She was always very anxious to see one as her father has told her many stories about mermaids, how they sang and combed their beautiful long hair. One night she actually had a mermaid at her place but she had wounds all over her body. The mermaid explained how she got there and looked very worried. Hilda offered her supper and they started to have a pleasant conversation with each other. She cried about her miseries and troubles to Hilda. But curious Hilda had her list of mermaid questions ready. The next morning when Hilda woke up, she could not find the mermaid anywhere but found pieces of seaweed on the floor.  If you like the show, support us by becoming a patron on this link: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradio  Visit our website to know more: https://chimesradio.com   All podcast listening links: http://chimesradio.bio.link/ Connect with us on our social handles to get all content updates:
