The Frog Prince:
The Frog Prince "The Frog Prince; or, Iron Henry" is a fairy tale, best known through the Brothers Grimm's written version; traditionally it is the first story in their collection. The Princess and the Frog, is loosely based on this story. This is the short story of the frog prince who later turned into a young, handsome prince and married a beautiful princess.
STORY - There lived a beautiful princess who had a golden ball. One day, the ball fell into a pond. She was very upset and didn't know what to do. While she sat there cry¬ing, a frog hopped out of the pond and asked, “Why are you crying, princess?” She told him about her golden ball. The ugly frog said, “I can help you get your ball but what will you give me in return?” “I will give you any¬thing you want!” exclaimed the princess. The frog immediately dove into the water and got the ball for her. The princess was very happy. The frog reminded her, “Remem¬ber that you promised me anything. Well, I want to be your friend, eat from your plate, and sleep in your palace!” The princess hated the idea but she agreed and ran back to the palace. The next morning, the princess found the frog waiting for her. He said, “I have come to live in your palace.” Hearing this, the princess ran to her fa¬ther, crying. When the kind king heard about the promise, he told her, “A promise is a promise and you must keep your word. You must let the frog stay here.” The princess was very angry but she had no choice and let the frog stay. He ate from her plate during dinner and asked the princess to take him to her bed at night. The princess picked him up angrily and threw him to the floor. In a flash, the frog turned into a handsome prince. He told the princess that he had actually been under the spell of a wicked witch. The princess fell in love with the prince and lived happily ever after.
