BR 1-09: Stories of Mermaids

"As each day passed, he bagan to feel as sorry for Harmony as a tough old pirate can." (p. 14)


I think the most interesting scene of this story is that Gingerbeard who was the owner of a wreck pitied Harmony singing sad song. He was feared by everyone as the fiercest pirate to sail the Seven Seas, but he wasn't terrible at all because he felt sorry for Harmony, and he gave her polkadot weed which is a kind of medicine for her mother's sick and handfuls of coins. He was very kind! Thanks to him, Harmony's mother was cured, and poor her family could move from a cramped, dark and very cold cave to a warm and cosy cave.
