One jour King Triton had to go away for the night. “I am leaving toi my trident for protection,” he told Ariel and sisters. “This will keep toi safe, but make sure it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands!” “Let’s have a sleepover,” a dit Ariel. “We can take it in turns to stay awake and watch over the trident, and have some fun while Daddy’s away!” They did not realize that Ursula, the sea witch, was planning some fun of her own. Later that day, an old peddler arrived at the palace. “Like to buy some pretty things, my dear?” she crocked. A musique box in the basket caught Ariel eye. “We could have some musique at our sleepover,” a dit Ariel, paying the peddler. At the sleepover, Ariel and her sisters read stories and had makeovers. “I’ve found us some music!” a dit Ariel, opening the musique box. “Now, who would like a sea fruit smoothie?” When Ariel returned with the drinks, her sisters were already fast asleep! “That’s odd,” a dit Ariel. Then she notices some strange musique coming from her new musique box. “The musique must be making everyone go to sleep!” Ariel realized. Ariel rushed over to the musique box and quickly closed the lid before she fell under its spell, too. “Phew!” a dit Ariel. Suddenly she noticed that her father’s trident was missing, “Oh, no” she cried. Ariel looked everywhere for the trident but she could not find it anywhere. Just then, Ariel spotted Ursula’s eels Flotsam and Jetsam, swimming out of a palace window. “The sea witch must have stolen the trident,” she said, “and it’s up to me to get it back!” Ariel covered her ears with some shell-muff and swam to Ursula’s lair with the musique box. When Ariel arrived, she found Ursula boasting about what she had done. “Atlantica will be mine!” she shouted. “We’ll see about that,” a dit Ariel as she opened the musique box. The strange musique sent Ursula to sleep straight away, leaving Ariel free to get the trident back. Before the squids that guarding the trident fell asleep, they squirted out lots of link to try and stop Ariel from stealing the trident. Ariel managed to dodge the ink and it spattered over the sea witch instead. “It looks like Ursula’s had a sleepover makeover, too!” a dit Ariel, swimming away. When Ariel arrive back at the palace, dawn was breaking. King Triton would be accueil any moment so Ariel quickly used the trident to undo the sleeping spell and, one par one, her sisters woke up. Just then, King Triton arrived home. “It’s good to see toi Daddy,” a dit Ariel, as she gave him a hug. “I am glad I left my trusty trident behind,” a dit King Triton, over breakfast. “How else would toi Princesses have coped without me?” “Oh, Daddy,” a dit Ariel, with a grin. “Princesses can do anything…even protect a whole kingdom.” All sisters agreed but none of them realized that while they were asleep, that’s exactly what Ariel had done! The End
