Pepe watches Pooky reading books and wants to be able to do the same. He puts on Mama's reading glasses so that he can pretend to be reading. Then something magical happens...he can actually read. Pooky comes home from school and is upset about something. She refuses to talk about it. Pepe reads the test which shows that Pooky's teacher does not believe in mermaids. Pepe shares the test with Mama. Do mermaids really exist? It depends on whether you believe in magic or not.
