From ron “â€a seal.â€â€ Legend tells of a seal who is warned never to stray too close to the land. When the “â€seal childâ€â€ is swept ashore by a huge wave, she becomes trapped in a human form, known as a “â€Selkieâ€â€ or “â€seal maiden.â€â€ Although she lives as the wife of a fisherman and bears him children, known as “â€ronansâ€â€ or “â€little seals,â€â€ she never quite loses her “â€sea-longing.â€â€ Eventually she finds the “â€seal-skinâ€â€ which the fisherman has hidden and slips back into the ocean. But she can’t forget her husband and children and can even be seen swimming close to the shore, keeping a watchful eye on them.
