The golden arm and the little mermaids

“The golden arm and the little mermaids”

There once lived six beautiful mermaids in the castle under the sea. They liked to hear the stories about the land. The king of mermaids, their father, however, did not allow them to swim to the ocean’s surface until they were seventeen. The youngest one, Snow, expected her birthday to come every day.

Day by day, Snow finally reached seventeen. She swam to the sea surface and saw a magnificent ship there. On the ship, a birthday party was held for the handsome young prince.

Suddenly, a terrible storm came and the ship was overwhelmed. The young prince fell into the sea and Snow came to rescue him immediately and rescued him with her golden arm.

“Wake up. Wake up.” The prince was unconscious, so Snow stayed there and took care of him. At dawn, a noble girl came to the beach, so Snow hid herself behind the rocks. When the prince woke up, he saw the noble girl and thought she saved his life.

Snow felt sad and came to the sea witch for help. “Here is the medicine. You will get two legs in exchange for your voice. The prince has to fall in love with you and marry you. Otherwise, you will disappear as bubbles.” The sea witch warned her.

Snow took the medicine and then fainted. As she woke up, she had two legs already. The prince came to her just in time. “What a pretty girl with a golden arm.” The prince wanted to talk to her. However, Snow could not speak any more. She had lost her voice forever.

The prince took Snow back to the palace. He treated Snow like his own sister and Snow lived very happily. One day, the prince told Snow that he would marry the noble girl he met at the beach. Snow was heartbroken.

Her five sisters came to her and handed to her a knife. “Kill the prince and apply his blood to your golden arm and your legs. Then, you can be a mermaid again.

At midnight, Snow went to the prince’s room but could not kill him. Looking at the prince, she whispered, “Goodbye, my dear prince.”

The next morning, when the sun rose, Snow disappeared in the air as bubbles, but her golden arm left in the prince’s room. When prince arose, he realized it was the golden arm which saved him from the ocean. He decided to look for Snow, but the sea witch told him that Snow had become bobbles.
