               The beautiful Melinda and her friends were walking along the shore
            of a swamp lake. And then she noticed beautiful golden flowers floating
            on the surface of the reservoir. She wanted to take one of these beautiful
            flowers with her. The swamp king saw her and decided to steal the beauty.
            He turned to a stump, and as soon as the beautiful woman stepped on
            him to keep her balance, he sank to the bottom, and the cunning merman

            immediately pulled the girl under the water. And the bright yellow flowers
            have now become a symbol of deception.
