Review

One day, The Sea King lived at the bottom of the sea. He had six mermaid daughters. The youngest was the most beautiful of all the mermaid, for example, her eyes were deep blue and her skin was like a rose. And she had beautifuly voice. The mermaids had a wonderful life, because they could play and sing ever. The Little Mermaid was heard about the world of humans above the sea by her grandmother. And her grandmother said "when you are fifteen, you can swim up and see it yourself!" She waited for the day, at last she was fifteen and she swam up. Then in front of her was a big ship, and she saw a young prince. Suddenly, the ship was struck by lightning. The Little Mermaid saw that the prince drowned. She thought, "I must save him!" After she saved him, she took him to shore. She was found him her identity to hid behind a large rock. Then a pretty girl came to the beach, and the prince woke up and smiled. He said a pretty girl "thank you." The Little Mermaid was so sad, but she missed him so much day by day. She wanted to go the world above the sea again, so she asked her grandmother about it. Her grandmother said "people cannot live forever, and when we die, we become foam on the watter." The Little Mermaid asked, "could I get a human soul?" Her grandmother said "Only if a human loved you with all his heart and married you. Then his soul would flow into your body." The Little Mermaid went to the Sea Witch which she grant her dream. The Little Mermaid asked her to give a pair of human legs. The Witch said "yes, I will grant your wish, but once you are human, you can never become a mermaid again. And you must give your voice to me." The Little Mermaid said "alright." She could not speak and sing. She got a pair of human legs, and she can meet the prince. The mermaid spent all her days with the Prince. One day, the prince said "you remind me of a young girl with blue eyes who saved my life." The mermaid thought her heart would break. And he must marry the Princess in the next kingdom, but he said "I do not marry the Princess." The Princess had deep blue eyes, just like the Little Mermaid. He was misunderstanding that she saved him, so he said "It' s you! my wish has come true. I found the girl who saved me! I know you will be happy for me, because I know you love me." The mermaid broke her heart. They married. The mermaid could not live under the sea again if she kill the Prince. But she could not kill him. She could not turn to sea foam, and she flew off into the sky.
