“…… The Sea King, who lived there, had been a widower for many years, but he had his old mother to take care of the household for him. She was a wise woman, but she was always impressed by her noble origin, so she always wore a dozen oysters on her tail - and the rest of the dignitaries wore only half a dozen each. Besides that, she deserves great praise, especially since she is very much in love with the little sea princesses, some of her granddaughters. They were six beautiful children, and the youngest of them was the most beautiful. Her skin was light and tender, like the petals of a rose, and her eyes were azure, like the deepest lake. However, like the other princesses, she has no legs: the lower part of her body is a fishtail.

They could spend their entire long days in the palace, in halls with flowers on the walls. The big amber windows were open, and the fish swam towards them, just as the swallows flew in when we opened them. But the fish kept swimming to the little princesses, looking for something to eat in their hands, and letting them touch themselves......"

The woman smiled, she nodded and said, "Yes, just like my mother's baby Jiajia, she has a pair of big black eyes." ”

The little boy said happily, "Then I am also a prince?" ”

The woman smiled, "Yes, you are the little prince." ”

The little boy thought for a moment and pouted, "But I have never seen the sea, nor have I seen the beautiful little mermaid princess." ”

The woman leaned over and kissed the boy's forehead and whispered, "Yes, the beautiful little mermaid princess is in the sea, and we will definitely see it when our little prince grows up." She emerged from the sea, just like in the story, to save my dear little prince. ”，

The boy listened intently. In the story "The Daughter of the Sea", which her mother would tell him every night, he was waiting to grow up, and when he grew up, he could go to the sea with his mother to meet his beautiful little mermaid princess......
