Once upon a time there was a mermaid that loved humans and human things. One night she saw a man fall from a ship and almost drown so she saved him. She then fell in love with him and now wants to go up to the surface to be with him
Her father found all of her human things and destroyed them. He got very angry at her for this becasue he doesn't want her to get involved with the outside world, this made Ariel very upset.
Ariel then snuck out of home to go find Orsula who is known for her spells. She then offered her a deal, if Ariel gave her her voice she will turn her human for 3 days and in those tree days she has to make the prince fall in love with her and kiss her or else she will turn back into a mermaid.
Areiel was successful on becoming human, she got to meet the prince. But they had trouble talking to each other because she couldn't speak, even so they still seemed to like each other. But the last day was coming closer and closer Ariel will have to make him fall in love with her quickly before its too late.
What Ariel didn't know is that Urula put a spell on Eric so that he could be enchanted with Ariel's stolen voice. He later broke out of the spell and helped hitting Ursula with their ship which ended up killing her.
Now Ariel could be human forever. Eric and Ariel got married.
