Ariel's Underwater Adventure (7)

Ariel's Underwater Adventure (7)

Suddenly, without warning, a big storm came up.

Rain poured down, lightning  flashed, and the wind tossed the ship like a toy sailboat.



Ariel watched Prince Eric as he and his crew tried to keep the ship afloat.

As the ship tossed and turned in the water, a bolt of lightning hit the mast.

The burning mast collapsed onto a keg of gunpowder.

The explosion threw Prince Eric overboard into the raging waves.

" The Prince ! " shouted Ariel.

Prince Eric sank under the water.
Ariel knew that if she didn't act at once, her handsome prince would drown.

Ariel dived into the sea.
She grabbed Prince Eric and brought him up to the surface.

Holding him tightly, she swam to shore and dragged the prince onto the sandy beach. 

While the prince lay sleeping, Ariel stroked his hair and sang him a beautiful love song.

How Arile wished she could be with Prince Eric in the human world !
