…And Although the Little Mermaid Sacrificed Everything to Win the Love of the Prince, the Prince (Alas) Decided to Wed Another Judith Viorst I left the castle of my mer-king father, Where seaweed gardens sway in pearly sand. I left behind sweet sisters and kind waters To seek a prince’s love upon the land. My tongue was payment for the witch’s potion (And never would I sing sea songs again). My tail became two human legs to dance on, But I would always dance with blood and pain. I risked more than my life to make him love me. The prince preferred another for his bride. I always hate the ending to this story: They lived together happily; I died. But I have some advice for modern mermaids Who wish to save great sorrow and travail: Don’t give up who you are for love of princes. He might have liked me better with my tail.
