They lived alone, surrounded by rocky cliffs and dull, gray skies. Each day, the fisherman would go out upon the Great Water. His wife would sit on the beach watching the birds with their young circling in the sky and riding the waves. As the birds chatted and dove for minnows, she called out, "Oh, sea birds, how I wish I had children like you to keep me company during these long, gray days."
