Mermaid Ahoy! Hiya, Ariel! Say, whatcha doin' up here on the surface? Scuttle, I wanna write a letter to a little girl. She wants to know about mermaids. Could you help me? You betcha, sweetie. Old Scuttle knows everything about writing letters. Humans are my specialty, with all their fancy stuff. You wanna write a letter? Hey, that's not so tough. First you need a taffle hooper. That's what they use to write. A ballpoint taffle hooper would really be out of sight. Are you sure they write with taffle hoopers? Absolutely. Oh, Scuttle. It's hard to be humble when you know everything. I may have an ego, but it's under my wing. Everyone wants answers, no ifs, ands, or buts. So I show off politely. That's the Scuttle strut. This letter-writing stuff is a cinch. Humans do it all the time. Now here's whatcha gotta do. You start out very truly yours, and end it with dear friend, and in between you say things like, How large the weather's been! Then you stuff it in a bottle, a special one that floats. Humans only use them for their most important notes. Like this bottle. The one I found with the letter inside. Sure. Why, you could nail anything in that. It's hard to be humble when you know everything. I may have an ego, but it's under my wing. Everyone wants answers, who, why, where, and what. So I show off politely. That's the Scuttle strut. That's the Scuttle strut. It's hard to be humble when you know everything. I may have an ego, but it's under my wing. Everyone wants answers, no ifs, ands, or buts. So I show off politely. That's the Scuttle strut. Now you'd better hurry home, sweetie. You know what your father'd say if he finds you up here on the surface again. Thanks, Scuttle!
