Peg Powler

Peg Powler is a character from English folklore who is said to live in rivers like a fairy or a mermaid. She is sometimes also called Jenny Greenteeth. She is known for trying to pull children and other people into the river to drown them.

Now, it's important to note that Peg Powler isn't real - she's just a made-up story. And we don't want to be scared of the water or avoid swimming because of a scary story. Instead, we can learn about water safety and swim with a grown-up or a lifeguard. They can help make sure we stay safe and don't get pulled into the water.
