Once upon a time,

there was a little mermaid

who lived at the bottom of the sea.

The daughter of a king, 

she had all she could need

but felt that something was missing.

One night as she swam,

she came upon a ship

on which the human prince feasted.

When she saw his blue eyes,

her desire overcame her

and she found herself coming in closer.

But she made a mistake

by letting her heart lead the way

and swam right into a fisherman's net.

When he reeled in his catch

my, his eyes opened wide

and he delivered her right to the chef.

After selling for quite a fortune,

she was sliced into ten portions

and served with white rice and sake.
