My favorite fairy tale is The Little Mermaid. The story is about a mermaid who falls in love with a human prince. She gives up her beautiful tail and her life in the sea to be with the prince. But in the end, she doesn't get the prince's love. Instead of hurting the prince to save herself, she turns into foam. I like this story because the little mermaid is very brave and kind. Her selfless love touches me deeply.
