“Nothing gave her so much pleasure as to hear about the world above the

sea. She made her old grandmother tell her all she knew of the ships and

of the towns, the people and the animals. To her it seemed most

wonderful and beautiful to hear that the flowers of the land had

fragrance, while those below the sea had none; that the trees of the

forest were green; and that the fishes among the trees could sing so

sweetly that it was a pleasure to listen to them. Her grandmother called

the birds fishes, or the little mermaid would not have understood what

was meant, for she had never seen birds.” –}

The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen
