#089 The Frog Prince

 A young and very beautiful princess lost her ball in the water while she was playing by the side of a lake. She began to cry so sadly that the frog who sat beside the lake croaked to her, “What will you give me if I get you your ball back?”

“All the gold you could wish for!” replied the princess.

“No, I ask only that I am allowed to stay with you and be your friend,” said the frog.

The prin­cess gave her word. She thought that such promise would not cost her at all and she had absolutely no intention of keeping her promise. The moment she had her ball back she ran off so fast that the frog could not keep up with her. Nevertheless, after a while the frog arrived at the palace.

As soon as she saw the frog, the princess was frightened. She ran to ask for help from her father, the king. The king was an impartial person, so he asked the frog to tell him the whole story. After he had known what had happened, he ordered his daughter to keep her promise. So the princess picked the frog up gently in her hand, but with a shiver of disgust, she let it drop to the ground again. But that one brief touch was enough to break the spell that bound that frog. As a result it to turn back into the young and hand­some prince he had been before. The princess was shocked yet thankful as she met her love.

#088 The Door Behind The Door 1 : Truth Revealed (Part 1)

Tiara and Albert were a couple who really liked to travel and visit new places. They had started traveling together since two years ago. Tiara had a website, which contents were about places she and Albert had been to. Tiara was the one who asked Albert to accompany her. Albert, without any objection, helped Tiara with her job.

One day Tiara got an email about a mysterious house in the suburb area where she lived. She told Albert and both of them were interested to visit the place. So the next morning they drove to their destination.

“I heard this place is kinda mysterious, mysterious places can be scary too right?” Said Tiara, who was leaning on Albert’s shoulder.            

“But I won’t be afraid to go to any of these places as long as I have you beside me. And I bet this place will invite more visitors to my website,” added Tiara.

They finally arrived and they met an old man who took care of the mysterious house. They greeted each other and talked for a while. Tiara then asked the old man for an interview. The old man said that for good people who entered the house, they would be better after they came out. However if bad people entered the house, it would be dangerous. After the interview, they all went to the entrance of the house.

“Beware of what I told you, this house is for good people,” warned the old man.

“Don’t worry, we are definitely good people, we are going in!”

Without saying anything more, Tiara held Albert’s hand and pulled him to enter the house. Then she opened the door of the house. As they were told, there was only a big pillar in the middle of the house where they could see their reflections. Then they did as what they were told, three times circling the pillar and stood one by one in front of the exit door. Tiara went first so she stood in front of the exit door but there was nothing happened.

“I guess there is nothing so scary here, even though I can see my ugly reflection from the pillar,” Tiara joked.

“Hey it’s your turn, come on,” added Tiara as she saw Albert was spacing out.

Albert stood in front of the exit door.

Suddenly the door emitted red lights and there were black hands covered with blood coming out from the door with noises of suffering.

#086 A Lion Who Won't Admit Defeat

One day the lion woke up feeling better than he had ever been before. He felt so fit and healthy he could beat the world. So he rose proudly and went for a prowl in the jungle. So he came across a snake and the lion stopped.

“Who is the king of the jungle?” asked the lion.

“You, of course,” replied the snake, and slithered away.

Next, the lion came to a small pool where he found a crocodile.

“Who is the king of the jungle?”

“Why, you are,” replied the crocodile and slid into the murky depths of the water.

This went on all morning, all the animals agreeing that the lion was the king of the jungle. Then he came across an elephant.

“Who is the king of the jungle?” asked the lion.

In reply, the elephant picked up the lion with its trunk, hurled the lion in the air and then dropped him on the ground.

“Alright, alright,” groaned the battered lion.

“There is no need to get angry just because you don’t know the answer.”

The lion just would not admit his defeat.

#085 The Tranquilizer 2 : The Last Blood (Part 8-End)

“So here you are Sean Frank, eh Diego Mann,” said Murdoc King. “You do love your girlfriend so much.”

“Let her go! This has nothing to do with her,” shouted Diego.

Murdoc King threw Julia at his bodyguard and the bodyguard held her. He told Diego to throw away all his tranquilizing tools and Diego did so.

“You killed my son, the only child I have, only your death can repay it,” said Murdoc King.

“I heard that you hate blood so much, let’s see how much you hate it,” added Murdoc King and he shot Diego’s left leg.

Diego kneeled on the ground.

“How does it feel to see blood from your body? How about if I shoot your right leg, your hands, and your head?”

Julia was so worried but she remembered the ring that Diego gave her. She hit the bodyguard who was holding her with tranquilizing needle in her ring. The bodyguard was tranquilized and Julia jumped on the back of Murdoc King preventing him from shooting Diego. Pedro was distracted by Julia’s action that gave a chance for Diego to pull out the gun, which was given by Julia, from his back waist and shot Pedro right at his head. Blood was everywhere and Pedro died!

Diego could not shoot Murdoc King as he was afraid that he missed and it hit Julia. Murdoc King threw Julia on the ground and pointed a gun at her. Just before he pulled the trigger, Diego shot Murdoc King’s head.

Julia ran fast towards Diego and said, “Are you okay? Your ring saved me.”

“Your gun saved me too,” replied Diego with a smile. “I hope I won’t see blood anymore.”

“I feel weak after seeing blood, can I lay on your lap?” said Diego cheekily.

The war outside the hospital was over too with police as the winner. Diego and Julia walked out the hospital and met Julia’s dad. Julia’s dad was happy to see both of them alive. After being explained about Diego’s past, Julia’s dad was also proud that Diego had saved the country from nuclear threat.

One month later, Diego fulfilled his promise. He changed the ring in Julia’s finger with a wedding ring. Diego finally could live peacefully with Julia.
