"Poor Unfortunate Souls", a fragment from The Little Mermaid (1989)

 This is my favourite Disney movie ever. It is about a girl who breaks the rules, leaves her own country and people, and fights for what she wants: her happiness. She is helped by the witch, Ursula, who transforms her into a human being.
Watch the videos twice, and say if the sentences are true or false. Correct the false information.

1. Ursula has repented and she isn't a bad person anymore.
2. Ursula likes helping people.
3. Merfolk don't have to pay a price for Ursula's magic.
4. Ariel feels bad because she doesn't want to leave her family.
5. Ursula tells Ariel that life is full of easy choices.
6. Ariel has to pay a small price for Ursula's help: she has to sign a paper.
7. Ursula tells Ariel that humans don't like ladies who speak a lot. 

Now think. What is the meaning of this?:
"If you want to cross the bridge you've got to pay the toll"

Glossary:
poor - pobre
unfortunate - desafortunado/a
soul - alma
to repent - arrepentirse 
anymore - ya
merfolk - el pueblo de las sirenas
