A storybook from long ago once described it this way - Far out in the sea, the water is as blue as the most beautiful cornflower petals. It is also as clear as the brightest glass. However, it is very deep, so deep that nothing can reach the bottom. The people of the sea live down there. There grow the strangest trees and plants, and among them are the beautiful mermaid princesses. Her hair is like the softest seaweed, and her body seems to glow with a golden light as it moves with the water. She swims about with fish that look like bubbles, moving freely like birds in the sky.
