The Enchanted Prince
A bright August morning finds little Mary Louise wandering the beach alone for the first time since her family arrived for the summer. While she watches the tide roll in, a friendly mermaid lounging in the surf offers her a pearl‑studded comb, promising a taste of underwater wonder. As the comb glides through Mary’s hair, it grows long and shimmering, ending in a sleek mermaid’s tail that instantly transforms the girl into a sea‑dweller.
Now equipped with fins, Mary follows her new companion beneath the rolling waves, leaving the familiar shoreline far behind. Together they glide toward hidden reefs, mysterious sea‑mountains, and the faint glow of distant lighthouses that hint at secret realms below the surface. Listeners are invited to share Mary’s awe and curiosity as she embarks on an enchanting, uncharted adventure beneath the ocean’s surface.
