And that is how the story of the little mermaid ends. But if they travel into a house where a bad child is bringing shame to its parents, a year is added onto their time in this ‘limbo’. Each house they travel into on the breeze, if they find a good child who is a credit to its parents, one year is taken off their three hundred. Her spirit floats up into the air and she is informed by other mermaid spirits or ‘daughters of the air’ that, whilst they cannot gain a soul, they have a chance to do so if they provide a useful service to the world by bringing cooling breezes to the hot winds in warmer parts of the globe.Īt the end of their three centuries of service, they can create their own everlasting soul – and they can shorten the period of time it takes to earn one. But when the mermaid sees the prince and his bride sleeping together in his tent on the ship, she cannot go through with it, and hurls the dagger into the sea before diving overboard and dispersing into foam on the surface of the water. |
