Why can't you speak?

How do you transform into a seal?

I transform wearing my selkie coat.

Yes, I was, but I prefer the human world.

Giada:

Were you happy when you were a selkie?

Yes, I'm a bit sad but I'm happy because I live living with dad and Ben.

Are you sad because you aren't a selkie any longer?

Benedetta:

Do you miss being a selkie?

Yes, I do because I like swimming in the sea.

Why did you choose to live with your dad?

Teresa:

Because life with him is great.

Yes, there are. I made friends with lots of them!

Are there other selkies in the sea?

How is life in the sea?

It's very calm and it's great because you don't go to school.

Are you sad as you aren't a selkie any longer?

Yes, I'm a bit sad but I'm happy because I live living with dad and Ben.

Are you allright?

Yes, I am fine now, but I have lived for a long time without speaking, my brother treated my badly and I have faced many challenges.

Daniela:

What kind of challenges?What was the most difficult?

Ben and I had to move to the city. I suffered because I was far from the sea and Ben suffered too because he was far from Cu'.

Because I thought it was her fault my mum left.

Alberto:

Why can't you swim?

After our adventure I realized that she is not responsible for my mum's disappearance.

How is it going with your sister now?

Why don't you want to live in the city?

Because I want to live at the lighthouse by the sea with Cu'.

It was hard, dangerous and moving.

Were you sad when she left you?

Of course I do. She's the love of my life. I miss her, she's the most beautiful woman I've ever met.

Luka:

Do you miss your wife?

Why did you leave the children with granny?

Well... I made a mistake, I was really sad. If the children realized how sad I was, they would be sad too.

Falilou:

Why do you always tell off Ben?

Because he's stubborn and he's naughty to Saoirse.

Matteo:

Yes, I can swim very well.

Can you swim?

Because I like telling stories and keeping memory of the past.

Why are you a storyteller?

When were you born?

I was born when the world was born. The first story I told grew in the shape of a hair on my head.

How do your long hair help you to remember the stories?

Thanks to my memory the single hair lights up taking my to the story.

Do you think that you will remember Ben and Saoirse's story withour the help of your hair?

I think so. Their story can't be forgotten because it saved the world of fantasy and its creatures.
