years to all the good in our power; we receive an immortal soul and

take part in the happiness of mankind。 You; poor little mermaid;

have tried with your whole heart to do as we are doing; you have

suffered and endured and raised yourself to the spirit…world by your

good deeds; and now; by striving for three hundred years in the same

way; you may obtain an immortal soul。〃

    The little mermaid lifted her glorified eyes towards the sun;

and felt them; for the first time; filling with tears。 On the ship; in

which she had left the prince; there were life and noise; she saw

him and his beautiful bride searching for her; sorrowfully they

gazed at the pearly foam; as if they knew she had thrown herself

into the waves。 Unseen she kissed the forehead of her bride; and

fanned the prince; and then mounted with the other children of the air

to a rosy cloud that floated through the aether。

    〃After three hundred years; thus shall we float into the kingdom

of heaven;〃 said she。 〃And we may even get there sooner;〃 whispered

one of her companions。 〃Unseen we can enter the houses of men; where

there are children; and for every day on which we find a good child;

who is the joy of his parents and deserves their love; our time of

probation is shortened。 The child does not know; when we fly through

the room; that we smile with joy at his good conduct; for we can count

one year less of our three hundred years。 But when we see a naughty or

a wicked child; we shed tears of sorrow; and for every tear a day is

added to our time of trial!〃





                            THE END
