How Karim Became Prince Of The Sea

Long ago, there was a young fisherman who loved
music. He was too poor to afford a violin or a
harmonica. So he made himself a flute using bamboo
and he played beautiful music with it. His name was
Karim.
One fine day, while he was practising his favourite
song he heard a loud splash from the sea. Right before
his eyes, he saw the Princess of the sea coming out of
the water. She sat on a rock nearby and listened to
Karim's beautiful music.
When he had finished, she asked him if he could
take a journey to the bottom of the sea. He agreed. She
then gave him a strange brightly coloured potion to
drink. She explained that the potion would allow him to
breathe in the water.
In the sea, Karim saw seahorses, colourful corals,
sea anemones, sea urchins and lots of other beautiful
sea creatures he had never seen before. When both of
them were in the Sea King's palace, Karim's sharp ears
heard weeping sounds. He asked the Princess who
were crying and why were they crying. A tear trickled
down the Princess' cheek and she explained that the
Sea King was dying and her sisters were weeping.
Karim went to see the Sea King. The King's eyes
were closed and he looked as if he would die soon.
Karim felt sad too and he started to play a song called
"Be Happy". As Karim's merry music filled the air, the
King was cured. Everybody in the palace was
overjoyed. As a reward, the King made Karim.
