 The Frog Prince

On one particular toss, she threw it so high in the air that she lost track of it, and the ball went rolling towards a spring. The ball plopped into the water and quickly sank out of sight. The princess began sobbing in despair, and  wished for her toy to return to her.

Then a small frog popped out from the spring. " What's wrong beautiful princess?" asked the frog. The princess wiped away her tears and said, " My favorite golden ball is gone, and nothing I do will bring it back." The frog tried his best to comfort the princess, and assured her that he could retrieve the ball if she would grant him just one favor. " Anything! I will give you as my jewels and handfuls of gold." exclaimed the princess. The frog explained that he had no need for richest, and only wanted a simple kiss from her in return. The thought of kissing a slimy frog made the princess shudder, but in the end she agreed as she really loved her golden ball. Without much effort, the agile frog jumped back into the spring and located the golden ball in a blink of an eye the frog had retrieved the ball and returned it to the princess. keeping her word, the princess kissed the frog.
