The Little Mermaid (Disney Princess) (Little Golden Book)

Well, give me a summary at the end. So at the end, this is where it dramatically differs from the Disney story. The little mermaid is scorned for another woman.

The guy she loves chooses someone else and marries her. And the little mermaid is like, dude, I gave up my tail for you. I think a witch has my tongue kind of thing. And I want to get back my life.

So her sisters came and bring her this ritual knife and say, you can convert back to a mermaid if before dawn you plunge this knife into this dude's heart, this guy who loves heart. Yeah.

Hans Christian Andersen wrote it way better than I just recounted it. A lot less ums and likes. Yeah. But it's pretty, it's worth reading.

And you get some of his blood on your feet, you will regrow your tail and you can jump into the sea and everything will be just fine again.

But the original story was far darker. Darker, but also even more touching by far.

So she goes and she finds the guy sleeping with his new bride beside him. And she just can't do it. She throws the knife into the sea and becomes sea foam.

In both the original Hans Christian Andersen version of The Little Mermaid and in the Disney version, The Little Mermaid must surrender her voice to the sea witch in order to participate in the real world.

Why have not we an immortal soul? asked the little mermaid mournfully. I would gladly give all the hundreds of years that I have to live to be a human being only for one day and to have the hope of knowing the happiness of that glorious world above the stars.

You probably know some Hans Christian Andersen tales. The Princess and the Pea, The Emperor's New Clothes, The Ugly Duckling, The Snow Queen.

He never felt, at least for him, what he would consider true happiness, and that was the motor of all of his tales. The frustration he felt comes out in most of the tales that he wrote.

Rosebud, so firm and round, lovely as a young girl's mouth, I kiss you as my bride.

The amative poem continues with further kisses and an exhortation to feel my fire. Unquote.

He wrote a number of children's classics including the emperor's new clothes the ugly duckling and of course The little mermaid.

I didn't know he wrote the little mermaid How did disney get the rights to that?

Consuming a potion that makes every step feel like you're walking on knives until the love of your life marries someone else and your whole body dissolves into foam.

Instead, they're like, nah, we'll improve it. It's about a girl who changes herself and says nothing. To win over a man she does not know. We'll show it to little girls forever.

Did he write the little mermaid is possible
