Best Answer

The Grimm Brothers didn't write it. The tale was created by Hans Christian Andersen, and the original had sci-fi overtones. Mermaids live three times as long as humans but dissolve into the ocean at the end of 300 years. Some effervesce prematurely, like Ariel. She dies in the original for violating taboo on race-mixing.

Hans Christian Andersen published The Little Mermaid in 1837. The little mermaid, who was not given a name, was unable to kill the prince to be able to become a mermaid again. She was turned to sea foam on the day the prince married someone else.
