How To Tell Brand Of Rim

MERLIN THE WIZARD OF THE LITTLE MERMAID HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN The Tuatha De Dannan

Deep in the bluest of oceans had a beautiful palace in which lived the Sea King, a wise old triton had abundant white beard. He lived in this splendid mansion multicolored coral and precious shells, with their daughters, five beautiful sirens.

The Little Mermaid, the youngest, besides being the most beautiful had a wonderful voice, she sang with harp accompaniment, the fish came from everywhere to listen, the shells are opened, showing her pearls, and jellyfish stopped to hear her float.

The Little Mermaid was nearly always singing, and each time he did look up looking weak sunlight that barely filtered through the deep water.

- Oh! How I would like to come to the surface to finally see the sky that everyone says is so beautiful, and hear the voice of men and smell the flowers!

"You're still too young," said the grandmother. Within a few years, when you have fifteen, the king will give you permission to rise to the surface, like your sisters.

The Little Mermaid dreamed of the world of men, who knew through the stories of her sisters, who interrogated for hours to satisfy your unending curiosity every time I returned from the surface. At this time, waiting to surface to know the universe ignored, dealt with its wonderful sea garden decorated with flowers. The seahorses kept him company and dolphins approached him to play with her only starfish, fussy, did not respond to his call.

birthday finally arrived as expected and, throughout the previous night, got no sleep. The next day the father called and, stroking his long, blond hair, was engraved on his shoulder a beautiful flower.

- Well, you can go out and breathe the air and see the sky! But remember that the world above is not ours, we can only admire! We are children of the sea and we have no soul as men. Be careful not to go near them. Only you would bring disgrace! Just

her father finished speaking, The Little Mermaid kissed and headed toward the surface, gliding lightly. He was so fast that even the fish to reach it. Suddenly emerged from the water. How fascinating! First saw the blue sky and the first stars twinkling in the evening. The Sun, which was already on the horizon, the waves had left on a golden reflection that was diluted slowly. The gulls wheeled above The Little Mermaid and let hear their joyful cries of welcome.

- How beautiful is it! Exclaimed happily, clapping his hands.

But his astonishment and admiration grew still: a ship slowly approached the reef where he was The Little Mermaid. The marine cast anchor, and the ship and tied up, swung over the surface of the calm sea. The Little Mermaid heard their voices and comments. "How I would like to talk with them, "he thought. But to say it, looked at his long tail swaying, he had instead of legs, and was distressed: "I will never be like them!".

seemed that everyone on board were possessed by a strange animation, and after a while, the night was filled with cheers: "Long live our master! Live your twenty years! ". The Little Mermaid, stunned and ecstatic, he had discovered in the meantime the young man that was meant everyone joy. Tall, dark, regal, smiling happily. The Little Mermaid could not stop looking at it and a strange sense of joy and suffering at the same time, I had never felt before, she pressed the heart.

The party was on board, but the sea is increasingly ruffled. The Little Mermaid quickly realized the danger to the men, a cold wind and waves suddenly shook, the sky is torn in black ink with threatening and terrible lightning storm surprised the unsuspecting ship.

- Beware! The sea ...! -In vain Little Mermaid screamed and screamed.

But their cries, silenced by the sound of the wind, were not heard, and the waves ever higher, the ship jerked. Then under the cry of the sailors, the rigging and sails were brought down on deck, and an ominous roar the boat sank. The Little Mermaid, who moments earlier had seen the young captain fell into the sea, swam to his rescue. He searched in vain for a long time between the giant waves. He had almost given up, when suddenly, miraculously, he saw it on the white crest of a wave close and suddenly, it was in his arms.

The young man was unconscious, while the Little Mermaid , swimming with all his strength, holding him to rescue him from certain death. He held it until the storm subsided. At dawn, dawning still livid over a sea, the mermaid was happy to come to earth and able to deposit the body of the young on the sandy beach. Unable to walk, stay long at his side with his tail licking the water, rubbing hands of the young and giving your body heat.

Until the sound of voices approaching forced to seek refuge in the sea.

- Run! Run! Shouted a woman in a madcap. There is a man on the beach! It's alive! Poor ...! It was the storm ...! Let's take it to the castle! No! No! It is better to ask for help ...

The first thing I saw young man regained consciousness, was the beautiful face of the youngest of the three ladies.

- Thanks for saving me! He whispered to the beautiful unknown.

The Little Mermaid, from the water, he saw the man he had saved on his way to the castle, unaware that it was she, and not the other, who had saved him. Slowly

swam out to sea, knowing that in that beach, behind him, had left something I never wanted to separate. Oh! How wonderful were the hours spent during the storm, taking the boy into his arms!

When he arrived at the mansion paternal the Little Mermaid story began, but suddenly felt a lump in the throat and throwing to mourn, took refuge in his room. Days and days she was locked not wanting to see anyone, even refusing food. He knew his love for the young captain was a hopeless love, because she, the Little Mermaid could never marry a man.

Sorceress Only of the Abyss could help her. But at what price? Nevertheless decided to consult.

-¡... therefore, want get rid of your fish's tail! And I suppose you'll want two legs. All right! But you will suffer terribly and every time you put your feet on the ground, feel a terrible pain.

- I do not care, "said the Little Mermaid with tears in their eyes-a condition that may go back to him!

- I'm not done yet! "Said the old woman. You must give me your beautiful voice and you will be silent forever! But remember: if the man you love marries another, your body will disappear in the water as the foam of a wave.

- I agree! "Said the mermaid finally and, without hesitation, asked the vial containing the potion prodigious. He went to the beach and in the vicinity of his mansion, he emerged to the surface barely crept along the shore and drank the potion from the witch.

immediately a sharp pain made him lose consciousness and when he came, he saw his hand, as the mist, that smiling face so dear. The prince found her there and, recalling that he too was a castaway, tenderly covered her body with his cape the sea had brought.

"Fear not," he said suddenly. You're safe. Where come from?

But Little Mermaid, which moves left the witch could not answer.

"I'll take the castle and I will heal.

During the following days, for the Little Mermaid began a new life, wearing beautiful clothes and accompanied the prince on his walks. One night I was invited to the ball given the court, but as the witch had foretold, every step, every movement of the legs caused him dreadful pain as a reward for being able to live with her beloved. Although he could not respond with words to the attentions of the prince, he liked him and filled her with kindness. However, the young man was in his heart to the unknown lady who had seen when he was rescued after the sinking.

Since then there had been more because, after being saved, the unknown lady had to leave their country immediately. When I was with The Little Mermaid, the prince it professed a sincere affection, but not removed any other of his thought. And the little mermaid, who realized that she was not the favorite of the young, suffered even more. At night, The Little Mermaid secretly left the castle to go to mourn beside the beach.

But fate had another surprise. One day, from atop the castle tower, was sighted a large ship approached the port, and the prince decided to meet her accompanied by The Little Mermaid.

The unknown prince had in his heart got off the boat and seeing her, the boy ran happily toward him. The Little Mermaid, petrified, he felt a sharp pain in my heart. At that moment he knew he would lose his prince for ever. The unknown lady was asked in marriage by Prince in love, and the lady accepted it with pleasure, since she was in love. After a few days of the wedding, the couple were invited to make a sea voyage in the great ship that was moored in the port yet. The Little Mermaid also came on board with them, and the journey began.

At night, The Little Mermaid, distraught over losing her beloved forever, went on deck. Recalling the witch's prophecy was willing to sacrifice their lives and disappear into the sea. From the sea, heard the call of their sisters:

- Little Mermaid! Little Mermaid! It is we, your sisters! Look! You see this knife? It is a magical dagger that we obtained from the witch in exchange for our hair. Take it and, before dawn, killing the prince! If you do, you will again be a mermaid as before and forget all your troubles.

As in a dream, The Little Mermaid, holding the knife, went into the cabin of the spouses. But when he saw the face of the sleeping prince, gave him a furtive kiss and climbed back on deck. When dawn broke and he threw the gun into the sea, took one last look at the world he left and ran into the waves, ready to disappear and become foam.

When the sun rose over the horizon, threw a yellow beam on the sea and The Little Mermaid, from the icy waters, he turned to see the light one last time. But suddenly, as if by magic, a mysterious force pulled out of the water and transported to the heights of heaven. The clouds were tinged with pink and the sea roared with the first breeze of the morning when she heard the little mermaid in the middle of a whispering sound of bells:

- Little Mermaid! Little Mermaid! Come with us!

- Who are they? "Murmured the girl, realizing that he had recovered his voice. Where are they?

"You're with us in heaven. We are the fairies of the wind. We do not have souls like men, but it is our duty to help those who have shown goodwill towards them.

The Little Mermaid, touched, looked down, the sea on the sailing ship of the prince, and noticed that her eyes filled with tears as he whispered the tale:

- Look! The flowers of the earth hoping that our tears are processed in the morning dew. Come with us! Let's fly to hot countries, where the air kills men, then take a fresh wind. Through which we pass will bring relief and consolation, and when we have done good for three hundred years, we receive an immortal soul and we participate in the eternal happiness of mankind, "he said.

- You have done your heart the same effort that we, have suffered and emerged victorious from your tests and raised yourself to the world of the spirits of air, which depends only on you win an immortal soul for your good deeds! "He said. And

The Little Mermaid, raising his arms to heaven, cried for the first time.

was heard again in the ship songs of joy, saw the Prince and his beautiful wife looking wistfully playful foam of the waves. The Little Mermaid, invisible, hugged the wife of the Prince, sent a smile to her husband, and then came up with the other daughters of the wind wrapped in a pink cloud that rose into the sky.
