Once upon a time a princess was walking in the palace grounds. She sat down by a lily pond. A frog hopped up onto a lily pad near her and said:
“Beautiful princess, hear my story. I am really a handsome prince. I was out hunting, in hot pursuit of a stag, when an ugly old woman walked in front of me. I shouted to her to get out of my way, and slashed at her with my whip. A very stupid thing to do, as I didn’t know she was a witch. She turned on me, and shouted a curse. Suddenly I turned into a frog. I hopped back to the castle, and told my story to the royal magician. He said the only way the curse could be lifted, and I be restored to my proper shape, would be if I spent the night in the bed of a beautiful princess. My father has sent heralds all around, but no princess is willing to spend the night with a frog.”
The princess, having a kind heart, was very touched by this sad story.
“I will help you. Hop into my purse and I will smuggle you back into the palace.”
She took the frog back to her bedroom, and placed it on her pillow before getting into bed. She said goodnight to the frog, blew out the candle, and went to sleep. When she woke up the next morning, the spell had been broken. She was in bed with a handsome young man.
Do you believe this story?
Unfortunately, neither did the maid who brought in her morning tea and neither did her parents.
