FAIRY TALES OF HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN
THE LITTLE MERMAID
by Hans Christian Andersen
FAR out in the ocean, where the water is as blue as the prettiest cornflower, and as clear as crystal, it is very, very deep; so deep, indeed, that no cable could fathom it: many church steeples, piled one upon another, would not reach from the ground beneath to the surface of the water above.

the others, she had no feet, and her body ended in a fish's tail.
