From the original HCA tale, “When you have reached your fifteenth year,” said the grand-mother, “you will have permission to rise up out of the sea, to sit on the rocks in the moonlight, while the great ships are sailing by; and then you will see both forests and towns.”

It would, but that's the way HCA wrote it. 15 nowadays seems to be too young, and I agree if it was being sexual. Politically-correct fans would insist on her being 18 since she's nude in most adaptations, but the age thing remains controversial. And this story is not really sexual at all. I dunno...
