The Princess and the Frog

Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess who had a golden ball. She lived in a palace with her father, the King, and her seven sisters. Every day she played with her small ball in the garden of  the palace.

At the end of the garden there was a deep, dark lake. When the weather was hot, the princess liked playing near the lake. One day she dropped her golden ball into the water. She was very unhappy. She sat on the grass and started to cry.

Suddenly she heard a voice: “Don’t cry, princess.”

She opened her eyes and saw a large green frog. “Oh, help me please, I can’t get my ball.”

“I’ll help you,” said the frog, “if I can come and live with you in the palace!”

“Yes, yes of course. I promise,” said the princess.

So the frog jumped into the water and came back with the ball. The princess took the ball and ran quickly back to the palace. The girl forgot about the frog.

The frog was very angry. He followed the princess into the palace and told his story to the King.

“A promise is a promise, my daughter. Take this frog to your room and look after him carefully.”

The princess cried again, but she took the frog and put him on her bed. The frog looked at her and said quietly, “Please kiss me, princess.” She closed her eyes and kissed him.

Immediately the frog turned into a handsome prince. Of course, he and the princess fell in love. A week later they married and they lived happily ever after.
