Sirenita

So my in-laws have a few of these cute little puzzle books, like the one pictured here. The kids like them, and I enjoy the stories, since they have the Spanish and English one on top of the other. And so, in order for you all to share in my enjoyment, here's one of the my favorites, "Serinita" or "Little Mermaid", retold in the beloved language of Spanglish. We all know the story well, so I think I'll skip to the end. Enjoy!

The little mermaid was the youngest captain fell the sea. Swam what he could to help until he was in his arms. The boy was unconscious, but he could mermaid swam up to take land. Deposited the body of the couple on the sand and was rubbing his hands trying to wake him. The young Captain looked to awaken the beauty of the little mermaid and was deeply in love. But seeing that she was not a normal woman, but a siren, is very distressed and felt they could not be happier. The little mermaid so sad to see him, told him that again become a normal woman. Saying this was introduced into the sea and asked his father that became a woman. therefore begged his father to the little mermaid who took pity and ordered to make a beautiful couple. The little mermaid to look like a normal women said goodbye to his father and returned to the land where I expected the love of a young captain, shortly after they got married and lived happily. END

Ah. Gets me every time.
