The Little Mermaid

"I almost drowned once," he went on. "I was swept to a beach and woken by a lovely princess. Tomorrow I'm going to set sail and marry her! The prince's words were like a dagger in the mermaid's heart. He was everything to her, but he loved someone else. "Don't worry," he said. "You can come with me." But the little mermaid shook her head, sobbing silently.

I was very sad to read this story. I like mermaid because she is very cute. I want her to be happy.
