Once upon a time, there was a pretty princess who lived in a castle near a dark forest. On hot days she liked nothing better than to play with her golden ball under the shade of the trees.
One day, she dropped the ball into a deep well. The princess wept bitterly at the loss of her ball.
Suddenly, an ugly old frog appeared. “Whatever is the matter?” he asked. “I’ve lost my golden ball,” she cried.
“What will you give me if I get it for you?” asked the frog. “My jewels and my crown,” said the princess. “No good to me,” said the frog. “But if you promise to love me and let me eat from your plate and sleep in your bed, then I will get it.”
The princess promised without thinking. So, the frog dove into the well and brought her back the golden ball.
But as soon as she had it in her hand, the princess ran off home.
“Wait for me!” called the frog.
The princess forgot all about her promise. But the next day, when she was having dinner with her father, there was a knock at the door and in hopped the frog. The king made the princess tell him the whole story.
“Of course you must keep your promise,” he said sternly. “Lift the frog onto the table.” So, the princess had to share her dinner with the frog, but it took her appetite away!
When it was time for bed, the king made his daughter carries the frog upstairs to her bedroom.
How the princess didn’t want a cold, clammy frog in her bed!
But she knew that her father would be angry if she didn’t share her bed with the frog. So, she let it hop onto her pillow.
“Now you must kiss me good night,” said the frog. The princess scrunched her face and closed her eyes. Then she gave him the smallest kiss. But when she opened her eyes, the frog had gone and in his place was handsome prince. “You’ve broken the spell,” he said.
The prince was so grateful that he asked the princess to marry him. And since she liked him much better as a prince than as a frog, she said yes. He took her to his palace, where they lived happily ever after.
