Ariel asked the witch to turn her into a human so she could be with the prince.

The Sea Witch agreed, but with a condition. She would give Ariel legs, but Ariel had to give up her voice.

If the prince didn’t fall in love with her and marry her, Ariel would turn back into a mermaid and belong to the Sea Witch forever.

Even though it was a hard choice, Ariel agreed.

The witch cast her spell, and Ariel swam to the surface. When she reached the shore, her tail turned into legs.

The prince found her and helped her stand. Though she couldn’t speak, the prince was kind and curious about her.

Ariel spent her days with the prince, walking in gardens and laughing together.

But the prince believed someone else had saved him during the storm because he hadn’t seen Ariel’s face.

As the sun rose higher, the little mermaid stood on the ship, her heart filled with determination.

She glanced at the prince, who looked at her with gratitude and warmth, and something in his eyes told her he truly saw her now.

The sea witch’s spell no longer held power over her, for her kindness and bravery had broken it.

Her voice returned, more beautiful than ever, and she sang a song that filled the ship with joy.

The prince, hearing her voice, realized she was the one who had saved him.

“I’ve been searching for you!” he exclaimed, his heart lighting up. “You are my true savior, my true love.”

Overjoyed, they embraced, and the little mermaid felt as if the whole ocean celebrated with her.
