Описание: Maia is going to the race, but its early. She stops to look at her reflection in the pond. The reflection turns into another girl -- a girl who is swimming -- a girl who is a mermaid named Trezzie. Trezzie takes Maias hand and together they swim to her castle under the water. She gives Maia a piece of a plant that becomes a doorbell, so Maia can call her any time. The two of them skip stones across the water. Maias friend Fig shows up. Where were you? Why werent you at the race? Maia tries to explain she was swimming with her new friend Trezzie. Fig cant see Trezzie and doesnt believe her. Fig goes away mad. Trezzie resurfaces. Maia and Trezzie continue playing.
Having an imaginary friend can be confusing. The child who has this friend sees and hears this playmate, just like all the others. But when the child talks about this friend, nobody believes the stories. And the friend is never there when the child wants to introduce him or her. This sweet story shows both the real friendship and the frustration of not being believed.
