 * Quick Summary **

In the clearest, blue water lived The Sea King. He fathered 5 beautiful daughters, whose mother passed, and their grandmother raised them. Their Grandmother told them tales of the world on land. The youngest, most beautiful daughter was very intrigued by the foreign world above. Though The Little Mermaid wanted so badly to rise to the surface she must wait till she was 15 years old.

All of her sisters rose to the surface when they reached the proper age and would return with stories of the beings from above. When the Little Mermaid finally reached 15 it was her turn to explore the world above. When she reach the surface she watched a ship go by. On it there were sailors and they were celebrating. Then a young prince appeared on the deck and they were celebrating his birthday. When the Little Mermaid saw him she was entranced, and her heart grew fond for him.

As the Little Mermaid watched the handsome prince and horrible storm came. It tossed the ship around and the prince was thrown to the waves of the ocean. The Little Mermaid was happy that the prince was thrown to the ocean, because then she could be with him. But she knew he would drown and die. The Little Mermaid swam to the prince and saved his life. She watched as he washed on the shore to be found by others. She was hurt to think that he would never know she was the one that saved he. All she wanted was to be with the prince, but she knew she couldn’t because he was human and she was a mermaid.

The Little Mermaid knew that the only way to be with the prince was to be human. The Little Mermaid swam to the Sea Witch to hopefully make an agreement. Though the Sea Witch had done evil things she was not all bad. The Little Mermaid and the Sea Witch made an agreement so the Little Mermaid could be with the prince. The Sea Witch gave the Little Mermaid legs, but in return every step the Littler Mermaid took would feel like the pain of a sword passing through her. And the Witch cut out her tongue so she would never be able to talk or sing again. The Witch told the Little Mermaid that she must make the prince fall in love with her and be married then she will remain human forever. But if the prince does not marry the Little Mermaid, she will turn to the foam on the top of the ocean.

When the Little Mermaid went on land she met with the prince. They spent time together and the prince thought the Little Mermaid was beautiful. Though they cared for one another the prince did not wish to marry the Little Mermaid. The Littler Mermaid then knew her fate.

The Little Mermaid’s sisters knew of the deal with the Sea Witch and wanted to save their youngest sister. They offered their beautiful hair to the Witch, but nothing changed the agreement. The only way to save their sister is if the Little Mermaid stabbed the prince in the heart, but she could not bring herself kill him.

The Little Mermaid‘s grandmother always told her about what happens to mermaid’s souls after their lives ends. She told the Little Mermaid how mermaids would turn to the foam of the sea, but always wished to rise to the world in the sky. After three hundred years the Little Mermaid will be taken to the Daughters of Air. Because of her unselfish and caring nature she was able to float in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Brothers Grimm Version [|Read The Brothers Grimm Version for Yourself!] The Little Mermaid (Sirenetta) longed to go to the top of the sea and see the earth. She had always dreamed about how spectacular it would be. Her father would not let her go though; she was told she had to wait for her birthday. The days as her birthday approached seemed as if they took forever because all she wanted to do was to be able to see the outside world. Her father was cautious because he knew she might fall in love with the earth. She was only a mermaid and could never live with legs. But finally when her birthday came, she swam to the top of the ocean and she was in awe. She saw a ship with men on it and one man particularly caught her eye. A storm came and the ship was then in trouble. The man that caught her eye fell into the ocean and she swam quickly to go save him. She brought him on shore and with the help of other women, they brought the man to safety. After this event, Sirenetta couldn’t stop thinking about this man; she knew she loved him. She went to the witch of the sea and told her that she needed legs; she needed to be able to see the man again. The witch warned her that if the man then married another woman, that she would melt right into the waves of the ocean. Sirenetta felt it was worth the risk. She now had legs and went to the place where the prince had lived. She was at a loss of words but the man remembered her so he took her in. They spent time together yet the man wound up running into another woman who had helped saved his life. He fell in love with the other girl instantly. When they were married, the mermaid knew her fate. She knew that she would be dissolved into the ocean and would be gone forever. But something strange happened; she was lifted into the sky. She was brought there for her kind deeds to helping the man. Sirenetta was now a fairy of the sky.
