The cub's eyes shone even brighter. Then, without warning, he leaped out of the water.
SPLASH!
An Mo screamed again as the little fellow landed right in front of him, splashing water everywhere.
"Little brat! Can't you warn someone before jumping out like that?! Do you want to scare me to death?!"
The cub paid no attention to his complaints. Instead, he rushed forward and wrapped both little arms around An Mo's thigh. "Uncle! Can you take me with you?"
An Mo was completely dumbfounded. He reached down, trying to pry the sticky little fish off his leg, but the cub held on for dear life!
"Take you with me?!" An Mo squawked, totally bewildered. "Take you where?! Little guy, I don't even know who you are! Let go of my pants; you're getting fish scales all over my clean clothes!"
Realizing the handsome uncle didn't recognize him at all, the little merman cub puffed out his soft cheeks and shouted urgently, "Uncle! I recognize you! Aren't you the uncle who lives in the God Estate?!"
