00:00:00.127 --> 00:00:04.639
In time, Solanna the seal maiden 
got used to her new world.

00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:07.309
Slowly, she learned 
how to walk like a girl

00:00:07.309 --> 00:00:11.471
and how to talk, though her voice 
remained uncommonly high.

00:00:11.471 --> 00:00:13.476
The fisherman taught her how to cook,

00:00:13.476 --> 00:00:16.525
though she still preferred to
eat her fish raw,

00:00:16.525 --> 00:00:20.940
and loved to each bowl 
after bowl of seagrass,

00:00:20.940 --> 00:00:25.209
and would sometimes eat a wriggling eel
by biting its head off first,

00:00:25.209 --> 00:00:27.952
and then swallowing it down whole.

00:00:27.952 --> 00:00:32.419
You could see it rolling around 
in her belly for ages after.

00:00:32.419 --> 00:00:35.999
Because of these tricks, though 
to Solanna they weren't tricks,

00:00:35.999 --> 00:00:41.149
only the proper way to eat, the 
children around were fascinated by her.
