The Little Mermaid statue is the most famous and most photographed in all of Denmark. Many of you may know the story of The Little Mermaid as Disney based a film on this story. However, the original story ends a little differently. The mermaid never gained the love from the Prince and never married him. And so, as she had agreed with the sea witch, if she did not succeed she would be turned into, and forever live as, the foam on the waves. This is not the happily ever after we are used to hearing!
