Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful princess who had a
golden ball. One day, while playing in the garden, the ball fell into a pond.
She was very upset and did not know what to do. While she sat there crying
helplessly, a frog hopped out of the pond and asked, “Why are you crying,
little princess?” She told him about her golden ball. The ugly frog said, “I
can help you get your ball but what will you give me in return?” “I will give
you anything you want!” promised the princess. The frog immediately dived into
the water and fetched the ball for her. The princess was very happy. The frog
reminded her, “Remember that you promised me anything. Well, I want to be your
friend, eat from your plate, and sleep in your palace!” The princess hated the
idea but she agreed and ran back to the palace.
The next morning, the princess found the frog waiting for
her. He said, “I have come to live in your palace.” Hearing this, the princess
ran to her father, crying. When the kind king heard about the promise, he told
her, “A promise is a promise and you must keep your word. You must let the frog
stay here.” The princess was very angry but she had no choice and let the frog
stay. He ate from her plate during dinner and asked the princess to take him to
her bed at night. The princess picked him up angrily and threw him to the
floor.
In a flash, the frog turned into a handsome prince! He told
the princess that he had actually been under the spell of a wicked witch. The
princess fell in love with the prince. They were married and lived happily ever
after.
