In this story, the young prince and his mother go on a
voyage and they find rubies. The King demanded him to give the ruby to his
daughter and in return the King will reward him. I like the details and the
storyline. I think it would be interesting to change the young prince to a poor
boy and his widow mother. I could also change the storyline and focus more on
where the rubies came from, so I would give more of a background to the God in
the ocean. Explain why and how the God was trapped. Also, I can add details
about how the young boy saved her. After he saves her they fall in love. By
continuing his promise to the King, they would send some rubies to the daughter
of the King. After, they would run into issues about the poor boy not being
able to live in the ocean with the God, but they eventually overcame some
obstacles and they finally live happily ever after in the ocean. The King would
also reward the boy by allowing his mother to live with them in their palace.
Adding a fairy in this story would be a great addition to fulfill their wishes.
