FIX IT Week 9

The little mermaid swimmed close to the cabin windows, as the waves lifted her up now and then she could peer in through clear, glass windowpanes, and glimpse a number of well-attired people within.

among them was a young Prince with large black eyes who was sixteen years of age and his birthday was being commemorated with much rejoicing

When the vibrant prince came out of the cabin more than 100 rockets raised in the air, making it as dazzling as day, the ship was so brightly lit that the mermaid could gaze at all the people distinctly and plainly

Never having observed such fireworks before they so startled the little mermaid that she dived under water, when she again stretched out her hand it appeared like all the celestial stars were falling from the sky
