2. Marice the Mermaid By Rita Kelly

3. Once upon a time there was a mermaid named Marice. She wanted to be a fancy princess living in a big castle. But she wasn’t. She was just an ordinary mermaid.

4. Marice decided to go ask the king if one of the princes wanted to marry her. But Marice took one look at the prince and said, I will not marry you.

5. One day there was a ball. Marice saw a man standing in a corner. He was handsome, and he looked rich.

6. Are you a prince? Asked Marice. Yes said the man. Will you marry me? Said Marice. Yes said the man. So they did.
