The Little Mermaid lives at the sea bottom with her father the Sea King,her grandmother,and her five older sisters,born one year apart.When a mermaid turns 15,she may 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 descriptions of the surface and human beings.
When the Little Mermaid turns 15 she ventures to the surface.She sees a ship with a handsome prince,and falls in love with him.There comes a great storm,and the prince almost drowns,but the Little Mermaid saves him and she delivers him unconscious to the shore near a temple.Here she waits until he is found by a young girl from the temple.But the prince never sees the Little Mermaid
