Then suddenly, a girl with red hair, blue eyes, a purple top, and a turquoise tail appeared. Eric did not know what he had just stumbled upon, but he liked the looks of her. He tried to reach out to her and grab her hand but it was too late. Ariel had already got herself off the hook and swam as fast as she could away from that boat. From that moment on, Eric knew he had to know who she was and what she was doing out here in the middle of the ocean all by herself.

She went to the sea witch’s (Ursula’s) lair. When Ariel got there, she was kind of scared because she did not know what was going to happen when she swam in there. Just as Ariel was going to knock on the door, it swung open and Ursula appeared in the doorway. “My, my, is it princess Ariel I see,” said Ursula. Ariel just politely nodded her head as the sea witch escorted her into the lair. Once they had both sat down, Ariel asked her question “Could you help me with a problem I have?” “What would you like, my dear,” said Ursula. “I have recently met a guy that lives on land, I can not go up and talk to him because of my tail.

Ursula replied, “I suppose, but you will have to give something to me.” Ariel thought it over and asked “What would you like me to give you?” “Your tongue,” said Ursula. Ariel looked at the sea witch in disgust as she slowly nodded her head. Ursula said, “Come with me, my darling.” Ariel had no idea how this was going to happen, if it was going to be painful, and what she was going to do with her tongue. She followed Ursula into a little room where there was a chair for her to sit
