Once upon a time there was a mermaid who loved the human world. She collected objects from sunken ships or items carelessly discarded.
One day, on a stormy afternoon, a prince fell off from the ship. The mermaid saved him, and found a new reason to go to land.
Love.
Which makes no sense cause she just saved the guy and hasn't said a word to him.
That's how the story goes, I guess.
STILL MAKES NO SENS-
