English Original
Deep beneath the sea lies a great kingdom where all merpeople live and swim freely. The king of the merfolk, Poseidon the Great, has six beautiful daughters, the youngest of whom is eight years old.
Her name is Titania. She has golden hair and loves to listen to stories from her grandmother. Her grandmother tells her tales of a distant land where, as they say, people do not swim—they walk.
"When can I see them? Can we go now?"
"When you're sixteen, dear, but not right now."
So every night, when it's time to sleep, she dreams of this land and then falls asleep.

在深深的海底,有一个伟大的王国,所有人鱼都在那里自由自在地生活。人鱼之王,伟大的波塞冬,有六个美丽的女儿,最小的那个八岁。
她的名字叫泰坦尼亚。她有一头金发,喜欢听祖母讲故事。祖母给她讲述一个遥远国度的故事,在那里,人们不像人鱼一样游泳——他们说,人们是用走的。
“我什么时候能见到他们?我们现在能去吗?”
“亲爱的,等你十六岁,但现在还不行。”
于是,每晚入睡时,她都会梦见那片土地,然后沉沉睡去。
