Original Story

This is the story of a boy who was born in Cieneguita, Limón next to the beach.
Every morning this boy went to the beach to swin until the day he grew up and became the best swimmer in that town.
All his friends said that he was like a fish because he always was in the water and started to call him fishman.
One day his mother told him that they had to leave Limón to go to San José for a living and he told his mother that he did not want to leave the beach because he was happy there. His mother told: "Yes I know, but we have to go, I have to work".
The boy was very sad and told his mother that he would never leave Limón; that he prefered to get into the water and never come back to land.
It was true the boy never came back to land, the last person who saw him said that he was swimming on the beach. Many people looked for him but he never appeared.
