Nadya Vessey was born with an illness and her legs would never grow. At the age of 16, both of her legs below (低于) the knees were cut off. Nadya Vessey hasn"t let that destroy her. She recently changed herself into a mermaid (美人鱼). It was a little boy that started Nadya"s change. One day a little boy saw her take off her prosthetic (修复术的) legs and asked her why she didn"t have any legs. After thinking quickly, she asked him whether he had heard of The Little Mermaid. He said "Yes", so Nadya told him that she was a mermaid. Nadya said, "He was surprised and said "wow, that"s cool" and ran off to tell his dad". The idea of a mermaid became clearer and clearer in Nadya"s mind. After thinking it over, she wrote to the Weta Workshop two years ago, asking if they could make her a prosthetic tail (尾巴). She was surprised to get the reply that they agreed. The Weta Workshop"s director was happy to make it happen and wanted Nadya to be beautiful. It took the Weta Workshop two years to make a special suit for Nadya. After practicing in the local swimming pool, Nadya went to the open sea and tried out her mermaid suit. Nadya was pleased with it. It is really surprising. It"s wonderful to watch Nadya swim and to see her dream come true. |
