The Frog Prince

    Long ago there was a king who had a beautiful daughter. He loved her very much. Everyday the Princess would sit by the old palace well and toss a golden ball high in the air and let it drop. She loved to play this game.

    One day she accidentally tosses her ball too high. When it came down she could not catch it. It feels deep into the well. The Princess began to cry. ”Why are you crying?” said a voice behind her. The Princess looks down. She saw a frog. “Oh, please Frog”, said the Princess, I lost my ball down the well. If you bring it back to me, I will do anything you want.” “Anything at all?” asked the frog. “Yes, anything”, said the Princess.

So the frog dived into the well and gave the ball back to the Princess. “I don't want money or property”, said a frog. “Let me live with you and be favorite friend.”The Princess did not really want to let the frog came and live with her as her favorite friend but she was an honest Princess. When she made a promise she kept it. So the frog came back with her to the palace.

    One day the Princess discovered that the frog had turned into a handsome prince so they got married and live happily ever after.
