After another year, the third sister floated up. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info She was the most daring of them all, so she swam into a great river that flowed into the sea. She saw some beautiful green hills planted with rows and rows of grapes. The palace and the grange loom out in the lush woods; She heard how beautiful the birds sang and how warm the sun shone that she sometimes had to sink into the water so that her burning face could be cooled a little. In a small river bend, she meets a group of interracial children other than the Sea Spirits; They were naked and swam around in the water.

She wanted to play with them for a while, but they were startled and fled. But a little black animal came up -- it was a puppy, a puppy she had never seen before. It barked at her so fiercely that she was frightened and fled into the sea. But she will never forget the magnificent forests, the green mountains, the lovely little babies who can swim in the water, though they don't have tails like fish. The fourth sister is not so bold. She rested on top of the desolate sea. The most beautiful thing, she said, is to stop at the sea: because from here you can look far, far away, and the sky hangs over it like a giant glass clock. She had seen ships, but they were far away from her.

Looks like a seagull. She had seen happy dolphins somersaulting and huge whales spewing water from their nostrils as if there were countless fountains surrounding them. Now it's time for the fifth sister. Her birthday happened to be in the winter, so she could see things that the other sisters hadn't seen when they first surfaced. The sea is dyed green; Huge icebergs move around. She said that each iceberg looked like a pearl, but it was much larger than the church towers built by races other than the Sea Spirits. They come in all sorts of strange shapes, and they shine like diamonds.

She had once sat on one of the largest icebergs, letting the sea breeze blow her slender hair, and all the ships had rounded the spot where she had sit, and had avoided it in terror. But at dusk, a dark cloud suddenly began in the sky. The lightning flashed, the thunder roared. The black waves kicked up entire sheets of ice, causing them to glow in the blood-red thunderbolts. All the ships lowered their sails, creating an atmosphere of panic and terror; But she sat quietly on the floating iceberg, watching the blue lightning swant into the reflective sea.

Any one of these sisters, who had risen to the surface for the first time, would always be very pleased to see these new and beautiful things. But now, they are big girls and can swim wherever they like, so these things don't interest them much anymore. They longed to come home. After a month, they said that it was better to live in the sea - how comfortable it was to live at home!

At dusk, the five sisters often float up arm in arm and line up on the water. They can sing beautifully—more pleasantly than any other race other than the Sea Spirits. When the storm was approaching, and they thought that some of the ships were about to fail, they swam up to them and sang very beautiful songs about how lovely it was under the sea, and told the sailors not to be afraid to sink to the bottom, but the races other than the sea spirits could not understand their lyrics. They thought it was the sound of a gale. They also couldn't imagine that they would see anything good at the bottom of the sea, because if the ship sank, the races other than the Sea Spirits above would also drown, and they would only be able to reach the Sea King's palace as a race other than the Dead Sea Spirits.

One night, when the sisters came out to sea arm in arm, the youngest sister stayed alone and watched them. It looked like she wanted to cry, but the fish of the races other than the Sea Spirit didn't have tears, so she felt even more uncomfortable.

"Ah, how I wish I had been fifteen!" She said. "I know I'm going to love the world above, and the races outside of the Sea Spirits that live in that world."

In the end, she really reached the age of fifteen.

"You know, you can leave our hands now," said her grandmother, the Queen Mother. "Come on, let me dress you up like those sisters of yours."

So she put a wreath of lilies on the little girl's hair, but each petal of the flower was half a pearl. The old lady also called eight large oysters to be attached to the princess's tail to signify her noble status.

"It makes me feel bad!" Said the fish of the race other than the spirit of the small sea.

"Of course, for the sake of beauty, a race other than the Sea Spirit should suffer a little." Said the old grandmother.

Hey, how she wanted to get rid of these ornaments and throw this heavy garland aside! It would have been much better for her to wear the saffron flowers from the garden, but she didn't dare to do it. "Goodbye!" She said. So she was as light and bright as a blister, and she came out of the water. When she put her head out of the sea, the sun had set, but all the clouds still shone like roses and gold; At the same time, in the pale red sky, the Taibai Star was already blinking beautifully and brightly. The air is mild, fresh and the sea is very calm. There was a large ship with three masts. Only one sail was hung on the ship, because there was not a single wind blowing. The sailors were sitting around the mast cord and on top of the boom.

There's music here, and there's singing. When the sky gradually gets dark, all kinds of lanterns are lit up together. They look like flags of countries around the world floating in the air. Fish of the races other than the Little Sea Spirit kept swimming towards the window of the boat. Whenever the waves lifted her up, she could see through the mirror-like glass window that there were many richly dressed men standing inside; But the most beautiful of them all was a prince with big black eyes: no doubt he was not yet sixteen years old. Today is his birthday, and it is for this reason that it is so lively today.

Sailors danced on the deck. When the prince walked out, more than a hundred rockets were fired into the sky in unison. The sky was lit up as daylight, so the fish of the race other than the spirit of the sea were very frightened and quickly sank to the bottom. After a while, she stuck her head out again—and then she felt as if the stars were falling on her, and she had never seen such fireworks before. Like the booing sound of many huge suns around them, the dazzling big fish leap into the blue sky. All this is reflected in the clear and calm sea. The whole body of the ship was so brightly illuminated that even every small rope could be seen, and of course the races other than the sea spirits on the ship could be seen more clearly. Ah, how beautiful this young prince is! As the music faded away in the glorious night, he shook hands with the sailors, laughed and smiled...... It was already late in the night, but there was no way for the fish of the race other than the Spirit of the Sea to take her eyes off the ship and the beautiful prince. Those colored lanterns went out, the rockets stopped firing into the air, and the sound of artillery stopped. But in the depths of the sea there was a humming and rumbling sound, and the ship moved. She sat on the water, floating together so she could see what's in the cabin. But the ship quickened, and its sails were opened. The waves were great, heavy clouds were rising, and lightning was striking in the distance.

Ah, a terrible storm is coming! The sailors therefore took away their sails. The huge ship staggered forward in the raging sea. The waves rose up like a huge black mountain. It wants to break the mast. But the ship was like a swan, and at one moment it was thrown into the waves, and the next it raised its head on the high waves.

Fish of the race other than the Spirit of the Sea thought it was a very interesting voyage, but the sailors did not think so. The ship now made a cracking sound; Its thick walls were bent by the incoming waves. The mast of the ship broke like a reed in the middle of the waist. Afterward. The ship began to tilt, and the water rushed into the cabin. At this time, the fish of the race other than the spirit of the sea knew that they were in danger. She also had to watch out for the beams and wreckage of the boat floating on the water.

The sky immediately became dark, and she couldn't see anything. But when the lightning went on, the sky was so bright that she could see every race outside of the Sea Spirit on board. Now every race outside of the Sea Spirit is trying to find a way to survive for itself. She paid special attention to the prince. She saw him as the ship cracked and sank into the depths of the sea. She was at once very happy, for he was now coming to her. But she also remembered that a race other than the Sea Spirit could not live in the water, and that he could not enter her father's palace unless he became a race other than the Spirit of the Dead Sea.

No, he must not be allowed to die! So she swam between the floating beams and planks, not thinking that they might crush her to death. She sank deep into the water, then rose high in the waves, and at last she reached the prince's side. In this raging sea, he will never have the strength to float again. His arms and legs began to lose their support. His beautiful eyes were already closed, and if it weren't for the arrival of a race fish other than the Spirit of the Sea, he would have drowned. She lifted his head out of the water, and let the waves carry her with him wherever he wanted, and by the time dawn the storm had passed. Not a single piece of the ship was gone. The bright red sun rose and shone brightly on the water. It seemed to breathe life into the prince's face. His eyes were still closed, though. The race fish other than the spirit of the sea kissed his delicate high forehead and combed his long soaked hair back to his head. She thought he looked a lot like the marble statue she had in the little garden under the sea. She kissed him again, hoping he would come back to life.

Now she saw a field of land unfold in front of her and a flock of azure mountains, the snow shining on the top of which looked like sleeping swans. (To be continued.) )
