WITCH

If there's one thing that terrapins do well it's underwater swimming. I am absolutely good at it. Just before my young sibling Enobarbus was born I was the best swimmer in our family, since my older sibling Heidi was absolutely rubbish at it, in terrapin terms. Now I am second best, since Enobarbus became obsessed with beating me and ended up unable to lose. As I am not the best any more, I am thinking about going up on land and letting a witch take my power of speech in return for nice legs. In the book I read about this, it says it will be like walking on knives for ever, but I don't think I'd mind this. Has anyone got legs off a witch? What's it like?

I really think youre dabbling with the unknown here mark & howard , the possibilites of irreversible side affects are ENORMOUS. Witches are notorious for messing up big time , and walking on knives for the rest of your life would neither be big or clever. The mermaids I have known who have indeed themselves gone down this sorry route have had to pay for extensive and expensive post op therapy and many have great regretted their decision.

knives? i wouldnt like to walk on knives. i'd prefer feet anyday. u should check out some herbal remedies maybe for grown ur own legs. alot easier and safer.

gosh - it seems like i've made a lot of assumptions. thanks for the warnings. i did a herbal remedy once but i didn't like the taste. but i agree with swaffette that witches CAN be rubbish, as we had an aunt who was a witch and i have never in my life seen such poorly conducted spells. They hardly ever went right. I suppose i should have thought about that.
