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.
