Far beneath the ocean waves, in the land of the merpeople, lived a lovely young mermaid named Ariel. Her home was an undersea palace. Although it was quite magnificent, she hardly ever spent time there. She preferred to go exploring with her little friend Flounder, the fish.
Ariel loved to collect objects from the world above the sea. She and Flounder would swim in and out of sunken ships, picking up whatever caught the Little Mermaid’s fancy.
Arial’s father, King Triton, ruled the undersea kingdom. He was very proud of Ariel’s many gifts, especially her beautiful singing voice. He had arranged to give a special concert to show his daughter’s wonderful talent to all the merfolk.
Ariel’s sisters sang to begin the concert. Then they sang a special song to introduce Ariel.
But Ariel wasn’t there!
Triton was not pleased. How could Ariel have forgotten to show up for her own debut?
As usual, Ariel was off exploring. She had found a sunken ship to play in and had forgotten all about the concert. By the time she returned home, the guests had left. Triton was so angry that he ordered Sebastian, a crab who was his court composer, to follow Ariel and to keep her out of trouble.
Later that day, Ariel slipped away again, with Sebastian following close behind. She hadn’t gone far when a huge shadow darkened the waters above.
“It’s a ship!” she gasped with delight.
Ariel swam to the surface to get a closer look. There were humans on board! One of them was very handsome. Ariel heard the others call him Prince Eric.
But as Ariel watched, a sudden storm took them all by surprise. To her horror, the ship began to sink. Most of the people on board were able to climb safely into a lifeboat. But the handsome young prince was hit by a falling spar and thrown into the churning water.
Ariel knew that humans could not live under the sea. She had to save the unconscious prince. There was no time to lose!
She darted through the waves to the prince, as her friend, Scuttle, watched anxiously.
Using all her strength, Ariel dragged the young prince to shore. Scuttle was waiting for them. The silly bird put his ear close to Eric’s boot!
“Sorry, Ariel, I can’t make out a heartbeat,” said Scuttle.
Ariel placed her head on the prince’s chest.
“Oh, he is breathing, Scuttle!” she cried.
She was so happy that she began to sing to the prince. At the sound of Ariel’s lovely voice, Eric’s eyelids began to flutter.
“He’s going to be all right,” Ariel said gratefully. “Now I’d better get back before Father finds out I’ve left.”
When the prince opened his eyes, all he saw was his faithful dog, Max, running up to him.
Ariel returned home, but she couldn’t forget the human prince. As she sat thinking about him, two evil eels named Flotsam and Jetsam watched her with their cunning eyes.
“Come with us,” they coaxed sweetly. “We know someone who can help you.”
Ariel followed the slippery eels. Before she knew it, she was inside the deep, dark cave of Ursula, the Sea Witch!
Ursula knew how much Ariel missed Eric. She told the young mermaid that she could help her visit him – for a price!
“I will make you human so you can visit your young man,” Ursula said. “But you must get him to fall in love and kiss you before the sun sets on the third day. If you fail, you will turn back into a mermaid and return to the sea as my slave!”
Then Ursula laughed wickedly. “Oh, and one other thing. You must leave your voice with me!”
Poor Ariel! She would have done anything to see the young prince again. So she signed the agreement! Then the evil witch locked Ariel’s beautiful voice inside a magic seashell that she wore around her neck.
Flounder and Sebastian watched in amazement as Ursula’s magic powers changed Ariel into a human girl. Suddenly Ariel could no longer live underwater. Luckily, her two friends rushed her up to the surface so she could breathe.
Ursula cackled with glee. She intended to make sure Ariel did not get her kiss!
Once Ariel was safe on the beach, Scuttle said, “There’s something different about you, Ariel. I just can’t put my foot on it.”
Ariel showed him her two legs. She wanted to tell Scuttle about what had happened to her. But since Ursula had taken her voice, Sebastian had to explain.
When Ariel tried to stand, she found that balancing on her new legs was harder than it looked.
“You can do it,” said Scuttle. “Just watch me.”
Sebastian shook his head in disbelief. “How am I going to tell the king about this?” he wondered.
Meanwhile, Eric had not forgotten about the girl who had saved his life. Although he hadn’t seen her, he had fallen in love with her wonderful voice. Eric would have given his entire kingdom to find her! Then, as he was walking with Max, he saw Ariel on the beach.
