"Levanto, Levanto,
Silly, sorry Merman, He!
Pursuing Piosenniel
Away across the sea."

Bird was so shocked by what she heard that she almost slipped back into human form. To reduce the love of Levanto for Pio to a child's game song! She hopped along the branch she was sitting on, ready to sweep down on those gamboling boys and give them a piece of her mind.

Then she stopped, remembering back to the times when she herself had felt compelled to needle the Mer-Man, and her friend, Pio, about the situation. Levanto's huge ego had almost begged to have its bubble burst in some way. And he had carried his courtship out in such a light-handed way that one never stopped to wonder just what chance he thought to have to lure the Elf-woman away from her life on land.

It brought a smile to her face, to think of those days, not so long ago, when she had witnessed the one-sided affair of Levanto and Piosenniel. And then she thought about her own silly song that she would sing of The Two Skin-Changers. What long-lost tale of thwarted desire lay behind those verses? No one really remembered, or cared. It had become a tale of all lovers. And all love lost.

Still, of all the songs of Lindo that she had heard on this journey, she decided that this was one she would not bring back to Kali.
