Voice 1: A little girl in bright red clothes laughs happily. She is beautiful. She looks up at her mother with her huge brown eyes. She takes her hand. With her mother's help, she walks a few slow steps. She reaches the hand of her doctor. People watch in wonder. They cannot believe that this two year old child is Milagros Cerron — the mermaid² child! She was the baby that people feared. She was the baby that people thought God had punished! It is clear that this was never the case. As her name suggests, she truly is a blessing. Milagros looks around her and smiles. Maybe she knew it all along. The mermaid baby is gone. Milagros Cerron stands in her place as the miracle³ girl.
