英文童話故事：The Little Mermaid
Once upon a time, there was a little mermaid who longed to have a human body of her own. She swam to the surface of the water and watched the beautiful world from above. She fell in love with a human prince and dreamed of being his wife.
The little mermaid tried everything she could to reach the human world, but she was always thwarted by the sea witch, who warned her that she would lose her tail and all her fishy features if she tried to take on a human form. Nevertheless, the little mermaid was determined to pursue her dream.
She endured the pain and suffering of transforming into a human, enduring the sun's heat and the pain of walking on land. She braved the dangers of the forest and faced many challenges, but she never gave up.
Finally, she reached the human world and saw the prince she loved. She danced with him and fell in love all over again. But when the prince's true love appeared, the little mermaid was heartbroken. She knew she couldn't have what she wanted if it meant hurting those she loved.
In the end, the little mermaid sacrificed everything for her love and returned to the sea. She realized that true happiness comes from within, not from what others can give her. She learned to appreciate her own beauty and find joy in her own company.
The Little Mermaid taught us that we should never give up on our dreams, no matter how impossible they may seem. We should appreciate what we have and remember that true happiness comes from within ourselves.
