The King fell in love with her at once and the wedding ceremony was celebrated with great splendor. Every living thing in the sea, from the great whales down to the little shrimp, came in shoals to offer their congratulations. Never before had there been such festivities in the underwater world. The train of bearers who carried the bride's possessions to her new home seemed to reach across the waves from one end of the sea to the other. Each fish carried a lantern and was dressed in ceremonial robes of gleaming blue, pink and silver. The lights twinkled so brightly that, as the waves rose and fell that night, they seemed to be waves of white and green fire.
