The Little Mermaid

One day the little mermaid looks for a witch and finds her. She agrees to give the witch her tongue in exchange for a pair of human legs in place of her fishy tail, so she be her true love which is is the prince. Every step she takes she feels lots of pain and feels she needs to beg for relief. But despite all her pain she actually never gets to be with her love.

Facts

In Copenhagen, Denmark there's a statue of the Little Mermaid in the Copenhagen Harbor. In the fairy tale she ends up having legs but the statue of the Little Mermaid she has both that's right she actually has a pair of legs as well as a fishy tail so people could tell she is. The Little Mermaid will be traveling between April 2010 to February 2011 at a World Fair in Shanghai, China. The person who made this piece of art made a twin that's exactly the same.
