Once, there lived a poor childless couple. They longed for a
child. After many years, the woman gave birth to a baby. But to their
astonishment, instead of a normal human child, it was a girl frog! The couple
raised their frog child with as much love as they would have given a normal
child. She grew up to be an excellent singer. One day, a prince was passing by.
Enchanted by her voice he exclaimed, “What a lovely voice! I wish to marry the
owner of this melodious voice.” Little did he know that the singer was actually
a frog! The frog girl agreed to marry the prince on one condition. “I will
enter the palace and bridal chamber in an enclosed carriage,” she said. The
prince agreed and they were married. At night, the frog hopped on to the bed
but the prince pushed it away in disgust. The poor frog girl was heartbroken
and went back home. Days passed. One day the prince once again passed by her
house and heard her singing. He again wanted to marry the singer. This time the
frog girl agreed to marry him without any condition. She sat in a little
carriage that was pulled by a rooster. On the way, the prince met three fairies
who gifted him with a fine horse carriage and many servants. The third fairy
turned the frog girl into a beautiful maiden. After that, the maiden and the
prince lived happily ever after.
