This is the story:
Once there was a lost princess,
An octopus saw the princess'hair
that had tumbled into the sea and mistook it for octopus.
And it fell in love.
When it find out it was actually princess hair ,the octopus offered to help the princess return home.
The princess gave the octopus her hair as a thank you gift,to keep it company in the empty sea.
And for a long time ,the octopus felt like he had company,carrying around the princess'hair.
When the currents untied the princess' bundled hair,the octopus tried to gather
the strands together
Not realizing he had tied himself into knots.
Each piece of the torn octopus'body was met with a strand of hair, and came back to live.
This is where my mom says jellyfish come from.
