The Frog-Prince

A young princess loses her favorite golden ball into a deep spring while playing alone in the woods. A frog offers to retrieve it, but only if she promises to let him live with her, eat from her plate, and sleep in her bed. She agrees just to get her toy back and runs away without keeping her word. The next day, the frog arrives at her door demanding she honor her promise. Her father insists she must keep her promise, so she reluctantly lets him in. He hops onto her chair and eats from her golden plate while she watches in disgust. Then he demands to sleep in her bed, which makes her feel very uncomfortable. She carries him upstairs and places him on the pillow for the night. The frog returns for three consecutive nights, sleeping by her side each time. Finally, on the third morning, the frog transforms into a handsome prince before her eyes. He explains that a wicked fairy had cursed him, and only her kindness could break the spell. They marry and leave for his kingdom together in a magnificent coach drawn by eight horses. The princess and the prince live happily ever after in their new home.
