The Little Mermaid did get a chance at a human soul, which is better than a prince. Also every time a child does what his parents want him to, her waiting time to get a soul grows shorter. Basically, the end meaning reinforces the values of being good and going to heaven. It's not a German story though, it's from Denmark.
the scary part is learning that your actions have consequences so it makes sense.
