1
00:00:00,334 --> 00:00:04,556
Red Brian took the seal maiden 
to his house further along the shore.

2
00:00:04,556 --> 00:00:09,221
They drank wine from seashells 
and slept wrapped in fishing nets

3
00:00:09,221 --> 00:00:11,845
and before long, she was his wife

4
00:00:11,845 --> 00:00:19,281
and in her happiness forgot even 
her first home, the waves, for a time.

5
00:00:19,281 --> 00:00:21,667
The following spring they had a son.

6
00:00:21,667 --> 00:00:26,701
He was born with a sealskin 
wrapped lightly around him like a coat.

7
00:00:26,701 --> 00:00:31,449
Apart from that, he looked 
like any other human child.

8
00:00:31,449 --> 00:00:35,462
The seal maiden hid the sealskin 
before anybody could see it.

9
00:00:35,462 --> 00:00:42,150
"I'm surely tied to the earth now," the seal maiden 
whispered as she looked at the baby boy.

10
00:00:42,150 --> 00:00:45,594
She wondered how much 
seal blood was in the baby.

11
00:00:45,594 --> 00:00:50,637
She held her ear to the small chest 
to listen for the ocean in his heartbeat.

12
00:00:50,637 --> 00:00:54,227
There it was, a whoosh from the depth.

13
00:00:54,227 --> 00:01:00,436
No one else would hear it, 
only her, and the baby himself.

14
00:01:00,436 --> 00:01:03,836
The seal maiden rarely went 
along the shore at night now.

15
00:01:03,836 --> 00:01:09,074
All her time was spent with the baby, 
feeding and washing and singing to him.
