故事題目：The Little Mermaid (小美人魚)
Once upon a time, there was a little mermaid who loved the surface of the water above so much. She watched the people, their lives, and their laughter from afar, and longed to experience it for herself.
One day, a shipwrecked prince washed up on the shore, and the mermaid swam up to him, hoping to help him. She brought him water, food, and comfort, and even saved his life when he fell ill. But what she really wanted was for him to love her.
The prince was grateful for her help, but he had no idea that it was the mermaid who had saved him. He fell in love with a beautiful young woman who came to his aid, and the mermaid was heartbroken.
She decided that she would give up her freedom and her life under the sea to be with him. She begged her father to let her go, and he reluctantly agreed. But he warned her that she would never be able to return to the sea, and she would suffer greatly for what she had done.
The mermaid gave up everything for love, and she became human. But it was not what she had hoped for. She was not happy, and she longed for the sea and her family. She tried to hide her true self from the prince, but he eventually found out. He did not love her as she had hoped, and she felt even more alone.
In the end, the mermaid sacrificed herself for the prince, giving up everything she had ever known and loved. She hoped that it would bring him happiness, but she knew that it would never bring her happiness.
This story teaches us that love is beautiful, but it is not always easy or fulfilling. Sometimes we have to make difficult choices and sacrifices for those we love, even if it means giving up something we love ourselves. But it is also important to remember that true happiness comes from within ourselves, not from outside forces or others.
