The statue of the Little Mermaid sits on her rock, overlooking the harbour of Copenhagen. One morning, she is found to be missing. All that is left on where she was once perched is a yellow-coloured Post-it reading:


To the bright lights of another harbour I bring this 97-year-old beauty; to a place that has been called a variety of names, from “a sea town” to the “light of the south”; to the only other sovereign city state besides Monaco and Vatican City we shall rendezvous.


Where did the Mermaid go?

The Little Mermaid swam to Singapore, didn't she Ms. Conrad?

Very good, Miss N/A.


Tagged onto a crest gate of the Marina Barrage is a lime-green-coloured Post-it. On it is written:


Up north I have taken our petite maiden of the sea; to visit a socialist republic and pay respects to its limestone dragon; in the clear green waters of the World Heritage Site we shall stay all day in the sun…


Where does this note lead?

Ms. Conrad, do you currently have the mermaid located in Halong Bay, Vietnam?

Ottimo, Signore.


Pinned to the central mast of a Chinese junk moored off Ti Top Beach is a note:




Where does this note lead?

Is the Little Mermaid enjoying Hong Kong Ms. Conrad?

Indeed she is, Signore Alessandro, but she would very much prefer to be home.


Fettered to a lamppost near the Clock Tower at Tsim Sha Tsui is a Post-it reading:




Where is she to be found now?

Has the mermaid made any Kangaroo friends in Sydney, Australia Ms. Conrad?

Good work, Agent Xander! The city of Copenhagen sends its thanks for the return of their icon.


FINITO.
