In the dark and stormy night, the high waves crashed a ship and the ship rolling and pitching on the sea. Beside the ship a young man was signalling for help. The little mermaid immediately rescued him. She brought him to the shore and rested him against a rock. She fell in love with this young man, the most handsome she had ever seen. A few minutes later, a young girl came and looked them. The little mermaid immediately left the surface and reached her home.
The little mermaid always thought of the young man. she met a sea witch and told her that she want to be a human. So that she could walk and dance on the land to meet the prince who she love. The witch agreed to consent the wish on two condition. First, the witch will take the beautiful voice of the little mermaid, so the little mermaid can’t talk and sing. Second, if the young man marries someone else, the little mermaid will die and become foam of the sea.
