It was another day in that aquarium. Umi was curled up on a rock at the bottom of the tank, too tired from entertaining and swimming for people to see him. Since he was captured and sold, the merman has spent his days becoming depressed and becoming a mascot in that artificial saltwater tank. He wanted to go home and swim in the vast ocean again. But, Umi couldn't. So all that was left was for him to wrap his big tail around a distant rock, looking at one time at some small fish passing by in the tank and another time at the people passing by to see him.
