N2  - 'For many years, I gave this story of The Mermaid in the Pond just a very cursory glance. Upon a closer look, I became fascinated by it. I have worked with the story in seminars, and over and over again somehow come to the conclusion that it is a story full of hidden images...The greatest thing we can learn from this fairy tale is how to deal with a partner who is in the grips of a powerful attraction to someone else.'
