In Japanese myth, eating the flesh of a ningyo (a mermaid-like creature) grants longevity. In the fairy tale "Yao Bikuni," a fisherman's daughter eats ningyo & lives to be 800. But catching a ningyo is bad luck, so sailors usually throw them back into the sea. #FairyTaleTuesday
In the Iraqi version of Cinderella, called "The Little Red Fish & the Clog of Gold," a girl befriends a talking fish she rescues from a fisherman's net. He gives her a dress & golden shoes so she can attend a party against her cruel stepmother's wishes. #FairyTaleTuesday
