The young mermaid had just received a fresh purple rose from a secret admirer. She thought to herself. " Who is this from? How does he know that purple is my favorite color for roses? " She also wished with all her heart that it was from the gold smith's 7th son, Edward. Please note that fresh roses are more valuable than gold in the underwater world. You either have to be lucky enough to find one drifting on the water, or you have to travel far to pick them from an island. ©Ann Howard, The artist retains copyright of the painting, which cannot be reproduced without permission.
