Emerald and Carlos have almost given up all hopes to find the magic clam. They were both exhausted from swimming across the sea all day so they rested. Yet, when all hope seems lost, a glimmer of gold shone and Emerald immediately noticed it. There, lying on the sandy portion of the sea beside the large rock where they were resting, lies the most magnificent clam that Emerald and Carlos have seen in their entire lives.
"The Clam!" Emerald muttered with an astonished look. Carlos was also mesmerized by the beauty of the magic clam that his jaw dropped. There was no mistaking that this is indeed a majestic clam like no other.
Emerald took the clam into the palm of her hands, thought of her sister fish and called, "Boomshikalaka, boomshikalaka, boomshikalaka..."
In a few more moments, her sister fish showed up and said, "what do you want, my sister?" "I would like to see our parents." Then, a large bubble popped and Emerald was able to see her parents again.
"Oh, I badly miss you," Emerald cried and started swimming to the seashore. Carlos and her sister fish followed. Upon reaching the shore, she tried rubbing the magic clam gently, wishing to be human again. It did not work. Frustrated, she vigorously rubbed the clam to her mermaid tale, and wonders... she turned human again.
