Ariel wanted to get a closer look. She quietly climbed up on the ship and peeked through a window. She watched as the men danced,sang and laughed. A friendly dog spotted her. He waggled his tail and licked her face.
"Max!" Prince Eric yelled at the dog. Ariel stared at Prince Eric. She had never seen a human so handsome.
Scuttle was flying over the sea when he spotted Ariel. "Hello there sweetie," Scuttle said,peering into the window.
"I have never seen humans this close before," Ariel whispered to Scuttle.
Ariel and Scuttle kept watching as a man named Grimsby unveiled a gigantic statue of a Prince Eric. "Happy Birthday,Eric" Grimsby said. "I had hoped this would be a wedding present for you."
Eric laughed. "the right girl is out there somewhere," Eric said, gazing into the sea. "I just haven't found her yet."
"A hurricane is coming!" a man suddenly yelled.
All the sailors ran to secure the ship's rigging. The ship rocked back and forth. Eric grabbed the ship's wheel and tried to hold it steady. It was no use. The men knew the ship was going to sink. All the sailors jumped safely into the lifeboats.
Woof! Max was still in onboard! Eric quickly jumped into the raging sea and swam back to the sinking ship. He grabbed Max and put him in a lifeboat, but Eric sank to the bottom of the sea.
Ariel watched in horror as Eric sank deeper and deeper. She dove down after him and pulled him to shore.
"He's so beautiful," Ariel told Scuttle. "I wish I could stay here beside him."
Ariel sang and talked to Eric until he started to wake up. Then she hurried back into the sea.
