Beschreibung:
The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen is a story about a young mermaid who falls in love with a human prince and makes a deal with the sea witch to become human so she can be with him. However, as a human she experiences great pain and must give up her voice in order to walk on land. In the end, the prince marries someone else and the Little Mermaid dies, but is given a happy ending in heaven.
The Little Mermaid lives in an underwater kingdom with her father, the sea king; her grandmother and her five elder sisters, each born one year apart. When a mermaid turns 15, she is allowed to swim to the surface to watch the world above, and as the sisters become old enough, one of them visits the surface every year. As each of them returns, the Little Mermaid listens longingly to their various descriptions of the surface and of human beings.
