The Little Mermaid
based on the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen

Far out in the ocean, where the water is as blue as the prettiest cornflower, and as clear as crystal there lived a beautiful princess named Sara.  Sara was very much like other princesses you may have met with one small exception - Sara was a mermaid!

Now, we must not imagine that there is nothing at the bottom of the sea but bare yellow sand.  No, indeed; the most amazing flowers and plants grow there; colourful fish, both large and small, glide between the branches, as birds fly among the trees here upon land.  In the deepest spot of all, stands the castle of the Sea King.  Its walls are built of coral, the roof is formed of shells, that open and close as the water flows over them.  Their appearance is very beautiful, for in each lies a glittering pearl.
