The Frog Prince
Long ago there lived a king who had
beautiful daughters. The youngest was the most beautiful of them all. They all
lived in a very large palace. Around the palace there were wonderful gardens.
There was also a large forest and
there under a tree was a pond. Often on a warm day the little princess went
into this forest to play with her ball. It was a golden ball and it was her
favourite toy. She threw the ball and caught it. Sometimes she threw it over
the branches of the tree. She liked to see how high she could throw it. Now it
so happened that one day the princess threw it so high that she couldn’t catch
it and it fell in the pond. The princess knew the pond was very deep. Her
father often told her not to go too near the pond because it could be
dangerous. She sat down and cried. “I shall never see my beautiful ball again,”
she thought.
“What’s the matter, little
princess?” said a voice. “Why are you crying?” The little princess looked
around her and saw a frog. “Oh, what do you want, you ugly, old frog? I’ve lost
my beautiful golden ball for ever because it’s fallen in the pond.” “That’s no
problem,” said the frog. “I can easily find it for you. What will you give me
if I do it for you?” “I will give you all my dresses and my toys,” said the
little princess.
“Thank you but I don’t want your
dresses and your toys,” said the frog. “Can I be your friend, sit near you at
the palace table, eat from your golden plate, drink from your golden cup and
sleep near you in your lovely bed?” “Oh yes, yes. I’ll do anything if you just
bring me my golden ball.” The princess thought that the frog could only live
near water. “How could he come into the palace?” she thought.
When the frog heard the princess say
“yes” he jumped into the pond to find the ball. Soon he was there again and the
golden ball was in his mouth. He dropped it on the grass next to the princess.
She was so happy to have her ball. She threw it and caught it. She forgot about
the frog and started to run home.
“Wait, wait,” said the frog. “Please
don’t run so fast. I cannot go as fast as you.” The princess just didn’t want
to hear him. She ran through the palace gardens and into the palace and closed
the door.
“What are you doing?” her father,
the king, asked. The princess then told him everything about the golden ball,
the pond and the frog. “I don’t want the ugly frog to come into the palace,”
said the princess to her father. “I have always taught you to be kind and to do
what you say you will do,” said her father unhappily.
He told her to go and open the door
and invite the frog to dinner. At dinner the princess said she really wasn’t
very hungry and didn’t want to eat. The frog was very hungry and thirsty and
had a very good meal. The princess just didn’t want to eat from the same plate
as the frog and she certainly didn’t want to drink from the same cup. “Will you
take me to your bedroom now?” said the frog. “Oh dear,” the princess began to
cry. “I cannot sleep in a bed with a frog. It’s too much to ask.”
“I would like to go to bed,” said
the frog. “Please take me there now.”
“No, I will not,” said the princess.
“You will not sleep in my bed.”
But the king said, “Remember what
the frog did for you and what you said to him.”
There was only one thing the
princess could do. She took the frog to her room where she very quickly dropped
him on the floor and went to bed. She could hear the frog. He came nearer to
the bed and climbed on the pillow next to her. The princess was so unhappy and
she shouted at the frog to go back to the pond. The frog just said, “I will
tell your father if you are not good and kind.”
The princess cried and cried. She
cried so much that she cried herself to sleep.
Next morning the frog jumped to the
floor and the strangest thing happened. When the princess woke up she saw in
front of her a most handsome, young prince. “Oh princess,” he said. “Look at
me. I wasn’t what I seemed to be. Only you could help me. That’s why I waited
and waited in the pond for you to come.”
The princess was so surprised but
now she was very happy. The prince then asked her again if they could be
friends. You can guess that when they were older they married and lived happily
ever after.
