The Little Mermaid
Hans Christian Andersen
At the bottom of the sea lived a curious little mermaid who dreamed of seeing the world above the surface. She loved hearing tales of ships and stars.
On a stormy night, she saw a prince fall into the water and saved him, swimming him to the shore. From then on, she couldn't stop thinking about that world above.
The little mermaid wished so much to walk on land that she sought help to have legs. Bravely, she left her home beneath the sea to discover new things.
Up above she learned to dance, to laugh and to make friends. Some things were hard, but the little mermaid never lost her smile or her kindness.
In the end she understood she could love the sea and the land at once, and that being brave and curious had made her very happy.
…and they all lived happily ever after. 🌙
