Is this the end of the story? What happens to the Mermaid now that she has learned to swim? What about the white ship, stuck in thick ice in the background? Does it belong to a handsome prince?

The story will continue, but for now, we'll leave the Mermaid to spend a peaceful evening in the company of her friends the seals and other animals of the little island, and we wish all

Merry Christmas and

Peace on Earth.
