Question

The Fisherman climbs down the mountain. "Don't send me away. Please, don't send me away!" the Fisherman's Soul calls to him.

"You are not important to me," says the Fisherman. "Go away. Go where you want. My love is calling me."

The Fisherman arrives at the seashore(海岸). He stands with his back to the moon. He looks at the sea. White arms are calling him. His shadow(影子)lies before him. His shadow is the body of his soul.

"Send me away with your heart," the Soul speaks again.

"How can I love my Mermaid with no heart?" replies the Fisherman.

"Be kind," says the Soul. "Give me your heart."

"My heart is for my Mermaid. Go!"

"Can I not also love?" the Soul tries again.

"Go! You are not important to me," cries the Fisherman. He takes the little knife and he cuts his shadow away from his feet.

The shadow rises and stands before him. The shadow is the same size as the Fisherman.

"Go!" says the Fisherman. "I don't want to see you again."

"No," replies the Soul. "I want to meet you again."

"How?" asks the Fisherman. "You cannot follow me under the sea."

"Every year I can come back to this place," says the Soul. "I can call you and you can come."

"OK," replies the Fisherman. "I can come."

The Fisherman jumps into the water. The Tritons blow their horns(号角)and the little Mermaid comes to meet him. She kisses him. They go down under the water.
