<strong>The</strong> <strong>nice</strong> <strong>princess</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>unfriendly</strong> <strong>mermaid</strong>
Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom lived a <strong>nice</strong> <strong>princess</strong> in a<br />
castle with her parents <strong>and</strong> sisters. She was really kind, friendly <strong>and</strong><br />
beautiful, her name was Luna, she had plenty of friends, <strong>and</strong> she<br />
consider all of <strong>the</strong>m as her true friends, that was <strong>the</strong> reason because<br />
she used to tell <strong>the</strong>m everything about herself <strong>and</strong> her environment,<br />
but what she didn’t know is that was going to give her a huge<br />
sadness.
Once her mo<strong>the</strong>r told her “My dear little Luna please be careful with<br />
what you tell to your friends, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>princess</strong> answered “Don’t worry<br />
mum, I´m sure all of <strong>the</strong>m are my true friends <strong>and</strong> if I need <strong>the</strong>m,<br />
<strong>the</strong>y will always be here with me”.
<strong>The</strong> <strong>princess</strong> Luna couldn’t swim <strong>and</strong> once on a meeting<br />
with all her friends she said <strong>the</strong>m “ I´m going to tell you<br />
something about me, but first I need you to promise me that<br />
you will never tell it to anyone”, <strong>and</strong> all answered her “ we<br />
promise you” , <strong>and</strong> Luna said , “Ok , I can’t swim, I am very<br />
afraid from <strong>the</strong> water , but I would like to know <strong>the</strong> sea”, so<br />
that one of her friends told her “ sweetie, all of us can swim<br />
<strong>and</strong> we can go to sea with you , we are going to take care<br />
you”, <strong>and</strong> Luna replied “ That is a fantastica idea, if I had told<br />
you it before, I would have known <strong>the</strong> sea time ago ,<br />
anyway, let´s go <strong>the</strong>re tomorrow in <strong>the</strong> morning”.
In <strong>the</strong> same kingdom lived a <strong>mermaid</strong> who was very envious<br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong>unfriendly</strong>, she lived alone <strong>and</strong> she didn’t have any<br />
friends. She knew almost all about <strong>the</strong> <strong>princess</strong> Luna <strong>and</strong><br />
she wanted to shatter her, but she didn’t know that <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>princess</strong> couldn’t swim.
All of Luna´s friends weren’t reliable, <strong>the</strong>y were hypocritical<br />
<strong>and</strong> feel envious of <strong>the</strong> <strong>princess</strong>, with an exception of two of<br />
<strong>the</strong>m Laura <strong>and</strong> Sofia.
<strong>The</strong> <strong>mermaid</strong> knew this <strong>and</strong> she had <strong>the</strong> power to become<br />
on a human being, <strong>and</strong> also, she could become on an animal<br />
to any person that go into <strong>the</strong> sea. So, one day <strong>the</strong> <strong>mermaid</strong><br />
asked herself “what can I do in order to <strong>the</strong> <strong>princess</strong> go into<br />
sea?”, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>n she thought “I will go to talk with her<br />
friends, I am sure <strong>the</strong>y can help me”.
Immediately <strong>the</strong> <strong>mermaid</strong> became on a human being <strong>and</strong><br />
went to talk with Lunas´s friends except with Laura <strong>and</strong><br />
Sofia, she told <strong>the</strong>m “ I know that you feel envious of <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>princess</strong> as me, for that reason you can be my allied <strong>and</strong><br />
toge<strong>the</strong>r we can become to <strong>the</strong> <strong>princess</strong> on an ugly animal,”<br />
all of <strong>the</strong>m said “ yes, off course, we agree with you, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>mermaid</strong> replied “I need you to tell , what is Luna’s secret?,
One of <strong>the</strong>m answered “ She can´t swim but she would like<br />
to know <strong>the</strong> see, <strong>and</strong> tomorrow in <strong>the</strong> morning we are going<br />
to go <strong>the</strong>re with her”, <strong>the</strong> <strong>mermaid</strong> smiled <strong>and</strong> say “ that is<br />
fantastic, it is our opportunity to shatter her,”. <strong>The</strong> <strong>mermaid</strong><br />
had been looking for to this moment since <strong>the</strong> <strong>princess</strong><br />
born, <strong>and</strong> said to <strong>the</strong> friends “I am going to prepare<br />
everything <strong>and</strong> I just need that you go to <strong>the</strong> sea with <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>princess</strong> tomorrow, Do you agree with me? “Yes” with a<br />
huge smile <strong>the</strong>y answered.
<strong>The</strong> <strong>mermaid</strong> didn’t realize that Laura <strong>and</strong> Sofia had listened<br />
all <strong>the</strong> conversation behind a door, <strong>and</strong> she went back to <strong>the</strong><br />
sea, so that Laura <strong>and</strong> Sofia were wondering <strong>the</strong>mselves,<br />
what to do to avoid that terrible plan, but <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r friends<br />
enclosed <strong>the</strong>m on a dark room.
<strong>The</strong> next day Luna was very happy because she was<br />
going to know <strong>the</strong> sea, she said to her friends “ I am<br />
really excited , hurry up, let´s go to <strong>the</strong> sea”
When <strong>the</strong>y got <strong>the</strong>re, <strong>the</strong> <strong>mermaid</strong> was waiting for <strong>the</strong>m<br />
<strong>and</strong> told <strong>the</strong> <strong>princess</strong> “ came on dear Luna , go into <strong>the</strong><br />
water”, but <strong>the</strong> <strong>princess</strong> felt nervous <strong>and</strong> so embarrassed<br />
because she couldn’t swim <strong>and</strong> all <strong>the</strong> friends encouraged<br />
her to go into sea until she did it , after that all her friends<br />
left <strong>the</strong> water <strong>and</strong> Luna said “what happen , why aren’t you<br />
here with me”.
Meanwhile Laura <strong>and</strong> Sofia were trying to get out from that<br />
room, <strong>the</strong>y shouted very loud <strong>and</strong> suddenly a unicorn<br />
appeared to help <strong>the</strong>m, <strong>and</strong> Laura said “<strong>the</strong> <strong>princess</strong> Luna is<br />
in troubles, let´s go to help her”.
<strong>The</strong> <strong>mermaid</strong> said “ Princess Luna you<br />
are very disgusting to me, <strong>and</strong> I had<br />
been waiting for this moment a long<br />
time ago , now you are going to be an<br />
ugly rat forever”, <strong>and</strong> Luna felt too fear<br />
more that to <strong>the</strong> water <strong>and</strong> started to<br />
swim to flee from <strong>the</strong> <strong>mermaid</strong> but she<br />
caught her <strong>and</strong> was about to become<br />
her on a rat.
When Laura <strong>and</strong> Sofia shouted “ stop ugly <strong>mermaid</strong>, we<br />
aren’t going to let you do that”, <strong>the</strong> <strong>mermaid</strong> laughed <strong>and</strong><br />
said “ you are crazy stupid girls”,
In this moment <strong>the</strong> unicorn appeared <strong>and</strong> took to Luna <strong>and</strong><br />
got out her from <strong>the</strong> water, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>n killed to <strong>the</strong> <strong>mermaid</strong>.
Luna thanked to <strong>the</strong> unicorn, Laura <strong>and</strong> Sofia, <strong>and</strong> said to<br />
<strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r friends “Today I understood that you are not true<br />
friends, <strong>and</strong> I had not realized about it, now you are going to<br />
lived enclosed for ever on a dark room”.
Finally, <strong>the</strong> <strong>princess</strong> organized a party to celebrated her friendship<br />
with Laura <strong>and</strong> Sofia because <strong>the</strong>y were true friends, <strong>and</strong> Luna learnt<br />
<strong>the</strong> importance of having a true friend in <strong>the</strong> life, <strong>and</strong> of don’t tell<br />
everything to everybody, <strong>and</strong> she lived happily ever after.<br />
