The little mermaid - my version ^^

Once upon a time, in the deep of the bluest ocean, there was a magnificent place where a Sea King and his daughters lived. It was built with many gaily coloured corals and seashells. The Sea King’s daughters were very beautiful, curious and adventurous, but the youngest, who was the loveliest daughter and also had a beautiful voice when she sang, was very stubborn and haughty with her talent. She always thought that all the good things had to belong to her.

One day, she and her sisters were playing with a flock of fishes when she came close to the surface. She recognized everything above the sea was so pretty, she could see the sky and hear the voices of humans and smell the scent of the flowers, although her father had banned her from going to the surface because she was too young to understand how humans can be bad and she had to keep away from them. Her father said that he would let her go up there when she was fifteen years old.

In order to satisfy her curiosity, she swam along the beach side and tried to enjoy fully the unknown world. She saw a prince lying unconscious on the beach because of the heavy storm the night before. She saved his life and went back to her world. She knew she was a child of the sea and she had to go back to her world, she could never marry a human, but she fell in love with him and wanted the whole world above the sea and also the prince.

She waved her long tail to go back her life and find the magician of the sea to give her two legs. She had to swap her voice, her beauty to have a couple of legs. The day after, she went to the human world and found her prince, but she couldn’t get married with him because he had got married with another princess. She went back to her life hopelessly and realized that she couldn’t attain everything she wanted and she had to treasure everything she had.
