Walt Disney The Little Mermaid  

Far beneath the ocean waves, in the land of the merpeople lived a lovely young mermaid named Ariel. Her home was an undersea palace. Although it was quite magnificent, she hardly ever spent time there. She preferred to go, exploring with time her little friend Flounder the fish. Ariel loved to collect objects from the world above the sea. She and Flounder would swim in and out of sunken ships picking up whatever caught the Little Mermaid's fancy.  In addition,  Ariel's father King Triton ruled the undersea kingdom. He was very proud of Ariel's  many gifts especially her beautiful singing voice. He had arranged to give a special concert to show his daughter's wonderful talent to the merfolk. Ariel's sisters sang to begin the concert. Then they sang a special song to introduce Ariel. However, Ariel wasn't there. Triton was not pleased. How could Ariel have forgotten to show up for her own debut? As usual, Ariel was off exploring. She had found a sunken ship to play in and had forgotten all about the concert. By the time she returned home the guests had left. Tuition was so angry that he ordered Sebastian a crab who was his court composer to follow Ariel and to keep out of trouble.
