A fisherman once caught a mermaid, and the mermaid, in order to regain her freedom, promised to sing a mysterious and wonderful song to attract the fish whenever the fisherman needed it, so that he could fill his nets. The mermaid keeps her promise, and every time the song is sung, everything around her is mesmerized and y seduced. However, the fisherman than did not want a boat full of fish, just look at her from afar makes him feel all the pain, he can not help but woo the mermaid, the mermaid said: "If you are willing to send away your soul, I will love you!" So the fisherman began the difficult journey of sending away his soul.
At last, he found a young witch, beautiful and bewitching with red hair that flowed everywhere. When she heard the request, she turned pale and trembled, "This is terrible, terrible ......." But the fisherman was resolute. The witch had only one condition, that is, she wanted the fisherman to dance with her at a specific time, in a specific place, the witch said, because "he" will come. She wants the fisherman. In the mystery of the night, in the eerie crowd of witches, the beautiful witch danced wildly with her arms around the fisherman, and the man in the black velvet dress, pale face and red lips stood in the shadows, gazing at them eerily, and the witch laughed shrilly and wildly and spun faster and faster with her arms around the fisherman....... All of them humbly bowed down to him, kissing the man's hands, but he only showed up now. man's hand, but he only showed a cold smile, still staring at the fisherman. The fisherman along with the beautiful witch also walked towards him, when the fisherman subconsciously drew the cross in front of his chest, the witches fled in a hurry, the man's pale face twisted and walked towards the woods, the red-haired witch looked at the fisherman with immense sorrow and wanted to fly away, but the fisherman grabbed her hand tightly, because he wanted her to keep his promise. "Look at me, I am as beautiful as the daughter of the sea. And if you want, I can sing beautiful songs." The fisherman vociferously demanded that she fulfill their promise.
The fisherman finally sent his soul away, righteously, and left his soul to its bitter pleas! As he jumped down into the sea and was greeted by the mermaids, the soul stood alone on the beach, looking at them with immense sadness, weeping and walking away through the swamp.
A year passed, and the spirit came to the beach and called to his master, describing to him all the wonderful things in the world, and bringing with it the magic mirror of wisdom, which knows everything. But the young fisherman laughed and said, "Love is better than wisdom, and as the little mermaid loves me, I will not give up my beloved for the mirror of wisdom."
Another year passed, and the spirit came again, bringing riches, and the fisherman laughed and said, "Love is better than riches, and the Little Mermaid loves me very much; do I need all the riches in the world?"
The third year, the spirit came again, describing to the fisherman a beautiful and lovely maiden with a light and delicate dance, and the young fisherman's heart was touched, and the Little Mermaid felt more or less sorry that she had no feet and could not dance with him. A great desire rose in his heart, and he said to himself, "I will look but once, and then return to my beloved." His soul came in ecstatic frenzy and entered him.
The soul tempted him to do many evil things, and when the young fisherman returned to the sea, drawn back again by the powerful forces of love, the little mermaid did not appear, no matter how much he called. He called every day, day and night, but in response to him only the waves, the little mermaid disappeared forever. A year passed, and the fisherman, who lived in a small house by the sea, heard an agonizing wail from the ocean, and he saw the body of the Little Mermaid, but lost her forever. He held her in his arms as the black waves closed in a little, and he murmured, "...... I have called to you at dawn, I have called to you in the dead of night, but you have not answered me ...... My mistake is unforgivable! ...... "He kissed the mermaid's cold lips frantically, and his heart broke in two ...... As his heart shattered, the soul found a portal to enter, and became one with him as it had been before. "
The next day, the priest came to the beach and frowned when he saw their bodies clasped together, saying, "...... They were to be damned in life, and they are to be damned in death."
