The Little Mermaid

Listen to “The Little Mermaid” on Spreaker.

Once upon a time, deep beneath the sparkling sea, there lived a young mermaid named Arielle. She had beautiful, long, flowing hair, sparkling blue eyes, and a voice that could charm even the fish. Arielle was curious about the world above the waves and often dreamed of exploring the land where humans lived.

One day, as Arielle swam near the surface, she heard beautiful music and laughter. Curious, she peeked above the water and saw a magnificent ship sailing by. On the ship was a handsome prince named Eric, celebrating his birthday.

As Arielle watched from afar, a fierce storm suddenly appeared, and the ship was tossed by the raging waves. Arielle knew she had to do something to save the prince. With a brave heart, she swam to the surface, using her magical voice to calm the storm and guide the ship to safety.

Amidst the chaos, Prince Eric glimpsed a beautiful creature with a melodious voice, but before he could see her clearly, she disappeared beneath the waves.

Determined to find the mysterious savior, Prince Eric searched the shores day after day, unaware that the brave mermaid was just below the surface, secretly watching him from afar.

Arielle couldn’t stop thinking about the human world and the prince. She yearned to be with him, so she made a decision that would change her life forever. She asked her wise sea-friends for advice and visited the Sea Witch, who promised to grant her wish to become human in exchange for her enchanting voice.

As a human, Arielle faced new challenges and experienced the wonders of the world above. She and Prince Eric became fast friends, and they spent joyful days exploring the kingdom together.

However, there was a catch to the Sea Witch’s spell. Arielle’s transformation came at the cost of her voice, and she could no longer sing or speak. Though she could communicate through gestures and expressions, she couldn’t tell Prince Eric who she really was.

As the days passed, Arielle realized that her voice was not the only thing that made her special. It was her kindness, bravery, and love for others that truly defined her. And she discovered that she didn’t need her voice to make a difference.

One sunny day, during a magical adventure, the Sea Witch’s spell was broken, and Arielle’s enchanting voice was restored. She sang a song of love and friendship, and the prince finally recognized her as the brave mermaid who had saved him.

Filled with joy, Prince Eric embraced Arielle, and they knew that they belonged together. The sea and the land celebrated their love, and Arielle became both a princess of the sea and the land.

And they lived happily ever after.

And so, dear little dreamer, as “The Little Mermaid’s Adventure” comes to an end, it’s time for three questions to unlock the magic within the tale:

• What inspired Arielle to explore the world above the waves, and what did she do to save Prince Eric from the storm?

• What decision did Arielle make to be with Prince Eric, and what challenges did she face as a human?

• What did Arielle discover about herself during her adventure, and how did she and Prince Eric find their happily ever after?
