The year after this, another sister became fifteen. She went up to the top of the sea. But the water was cold and there was much snow everywhere on the land. She soon came back. The five sisters were very happy when they went to the top of the sea to look at ships, cities, and men. But they did not remember these things for long. Their own home soon began to look more beautiful than anything which they saw at the top of the sea or on the land. The five sisters went up to the top of the sea many times. They went hand in hand and they sang beautiful songs. When there was rain or snow, they went in front of the ships and sang to the people on the ships. They sang, "Those who live down in the sea are so happy!" Then they told the people on the ships not to be afraid. "Come down to us, " they cried. When the sisters went to the top of the sea at night, the youngest princess stayed in the father's house, looking up at them. She wanted to cry, but sea people cannot cry. So they are more unhappy than the people on land. "Oh, I want to be fifteen!" she said. "I know that I shall love the land and the people on it." Next Page >> |
