Christo: The Mermaid Watcher

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Christo who lived in a small town near a lake, called Sirens’ lake. Christo was a very naturally talented storyteller.

Christo had three older, overly busy with life, breadwinner brothers christened: Christi, Christelio, and Christoli and one younger sister named Christa; his brothers were his pride and joy but his sister was his life.

Anywhere he went, his sister was within arm’s reach and everyone in their neighborhood thought they were twins as Christo was only two years older than Christa and their resemblance was simply remarkable.

Christo and Christa visited their uncle Marcel twice a week. On their way to their uncle’s humble abode, they would always pass the lake nearby. Oftentimes, the siblings would stop by Sirens’ lake to contemplate its beauty; they would rest for a little while and Christo would amuse his sister with lively tales about sea creatures nicknamed the Sirens of the waters.
