In this excerpt from The Little Mermaid, the mermaid rescues a prince from a shipwreck and brings him to shore. She watches as he is revived by a group of young girls and taken to a large building. Feeling sad that the prince doesn't recognize her or show her any gratitude, the mermaid returns to her home and becomes even more sorrowful. She confides in one of her sisters, who tells others about the prince, his palace, and where he comes from.
