Every day, Ariel always swims to the bottom hoping to see humans directly. Ariel always swam to the bottom accompanied by her best friend, Flounder. Flounder is a yellow fish.
For this act King Triton was angry. Worried by the princess's safety, King Triton disapproves of Ariel often to the surface because if he really – properly meets a human, he will be in danger.
It's just that Ariel's curiosity made his father's warning go unheeded. His father could not prevent the child.
Silent – silent, the father told Sebastian who is a crab to watch the motion – Ariel growled from a distance.
Until one day, Ariel saw a ship. There was a singer with a melodious voice singing a song. Some of the soldiers looked happy. While on the other hand there was a prince with a handsome face that made Ariel amazed.

With a song by the melodious singer, Ariel danced in the water while imagining how happy it would be if Prince Erik knew about her.
Shortly after, the wind came strong. The sky immediately turned gloomy, lightning struck haughtily. The ship boarded by Prince Erik swayed – swayed indeterminate direction until then and Prince Erik was thrown into the sea not far from where the ship was yawning.

Until then, Ursula got a chance. He approached Ariel who was sitting alone and told her that he was willing to help.
“You I will make as a human for three days and will soon meet the prince Erik you dreamt of”, Ursula told Ariel.
“Wah, really?” ask Ariel later.
Ariel who is still innocent does not know that she is used.
Ursula asserts, “If you can make the prince you love kiss you before sunset on the third day, then you can be human forever. But if the prince doesn't kiss on the third day before sunset, then you'll go back to being a mermaid. But I need a reward. The reward you have to give is your beautiful voice”.
