The Frog Prince

In distant ancient times, people's good wishes often came true. In that charming era, there was once a king. The king has several daughters, all very beautiful; Especially his little daughter, as beautiful as a fairy. Even Sun, who is well informed, marvels at her beauty every time she shines on her face.

There is a dark forest near the palace. Under an old bodhi tree in this forest, there is a deep pool. When the weather is hot, the little princess often comes to this forest and sits by the cool pool. When she sat there bored, she took out a golden ball, threw it into the air, and then caught it with her hand. This became her favorite game.

Unfortunately, once, the little princess held out two little hands to pick up the golden ball. The golden ball did not fall into her hands, but fell to the ground and immediately rolled into the pool. The little princess stared at the golden ball closely, but it suddenly disappeared into the pool. Because the water in the pool was too deep to see the bottom, the little princess began to cry. Her crying is getting louder and louder, and she is very sad.

Crying and crying, the little princess suddenly heard someone say loudly, "Oh, princess, what's wrong with you?" If you cry like this, even the stone will feel distressed. "

Hearing this, the little princess looked around and wanted to know where the sound came from, but found a frog sticking out its ugly fat head from the water.

"ah! So it's you, swimmer, "said the little princess to the frog. "I am crying here because my golden ball fell into the pool."

"Well, don't be sad or cry," replied the frog. "I have a way to help you. If I help you fish out your golden ball, what will you give me in return? "

"Dear frog, you can have anything you want," replied the little princess. "My clothes, my pearls and precious stones, and even this golden crown on my head can be given to you."

Hearing this, the frog said to the little princess, "I don't want your clothes, your pearls, your jewels and your golden crown." However, if you like me, let me be your good friend, let us play games together, let me sit at the same table with you when eating, eat with your small gold plate, drink with your small goblet, and let me sleep in your cot at night; If you promise all this, I will jump into the pool and take out your golden ball. "

"Ok, great," said the little princess. "As long as you are willing to fish out my golden ball, I will agree to all your requirements." Although the little princess said this, she thought to herself, "This frog is so stupid and full of nonsense! He only deserves to squat in the pool and croak with other frogs. How can he be a good friend? "

After the frog got the promise from the little princess, he plunged into the water and into the pool. After a while, the frog surfaced with a golden ball in his mouth and spit it on the grass. The little princess is glad to see her beloved toy again. She picked up the golden ball and ran away.

"Don't run! Don't run! " The frog shouted, "Take me with you! I can't run as fast as you. "

Although the frog shouted desperately, it was useless. The little princess ignored the frog's cry, but ran straight home and soon forgot all about the poor frog. The frog had to jump back into the pool.

The next day, the little princess and the king and ministers just sat at the dining table and began to eat with her little golden plate. Suddenly, she heard a crack. With the sound, something jumped up the marble steps. Arriving at the door, it knocked at the door and shouted, "Little Princess, open the door quickly!" " Hearing the shouts, the little princess hurried to the door to see who was shouting outside. When I opened the door, I saw it was a frog, crouching in front of the door. Seeing a frog, the little princess slammed the door, turned around and hurried back to her seat, terrified.

The king found the little princess confused and asked her, "Son, why are you so afraid?" ? Isn't there a giant outside the door to take you away? "

"Oh, no," replied the little princess. "It's not a giant, but a nasty frog."

"What does the frog want to do to you?"

"alas! My good father, yesterday, I went to the forest. When I was playing by the pool, the golden ball fell into the pool and I cried. I cried so badly that the frog picked up a golden ball for me. Because the frog asked me to be his friend, I promised, but I never thought that he would climb out of the pool and come so far here. Now he is outside the door and wants to come here. "

Just then, I heard a knock at the door, followed by a loud cry:

"Little princess, my love,

Open the door!

The person who loves you is coming,

Open the door!

You won't forget yesterday,

By the pool under the old bodhi tree,

The pool is deep and the ball can't be seen.

You promised yourself. "

Hearing this, the king said to the little princess, "You can never break your word. Go and open the door and let him in. "

The little princess answered the door and the frog skipped in. Then she followed the little princess to her seat and shouted, "Hold me by your side!" " "

The little princess trembled with fear, but the king told her to do as the frog said. The frog was put on the chair, but it was unhappy and wanted to serve. After getting on the table, he said, "Would you please push your little golden plate over a little?" So we can eat quickly. "

Obviously, the little princess didn't want to do this, but she pushed the gold plate over. The frog ate with relish, but the little princess had no appetite at all. Finally, the frog said, "I'm full." Now I'm a little tired, please carry me to your little bedroom, spread your satin cover, and then we go to bed. "

The little princess was afraid of the cold frog and even dared not touch it. Hearing that he wanted to sleep in his neat and beautiful little bed, he began to cry.

When the king saw the little princess like this, he said angrily to her, "Whoever helped us when we were in trouble, don't look down on anyone in the future."

So the little princess picked up the frog with two slender fingers, took it upstairs and put it in a corner of the bedroom. But as soon as she lay in bed, the frog climbed onto the bed and said to her, "I'm tired, and I want to sleep in bed, too." Please pick me up, or I will tell your father. "

Hearing this, the little princess flew into a rage, grabbed the frog and threw it at the wall.

"Now you can sleep if you want, you ugly nuisance!"

Who knows that when he landed, he was no longer a frog, but suddenly became a prince: a prince with bright eyes and a bright smile. Only then did the prince tell the little princess that he was enchanted by a vicious witch, and no one could save him from the pool except the little princess.

So, according to the king's wishes, he became a close friend and companion of the little princess, and tomorrow, they will return to his kingdom together.

The next morning, when the sun climbed up the mountain, an eight-horse carriage had stopped in front of the door, with white feathers on its head and shiny harness on it. Behind the car stood the prince's servant, loyal Henry.

Henry's master was heartbroken after being turned into a frog, so he put three iron hoops on his chest to prevent his heart from being broken by grief.

The carriage came to take the young prince back to his kingdom. Loyal Henry helped his master and princess get into the carriage, and then stood behind it by himself.

They had just walked not far after they hit the road when suddenly they heard a crackling sound, as if something had been broken. On the road, the crackling noise happened again and again. Every time the prince and princess hear this sound, they think something is broken in the car. In fact, loyal Henry was so happy and ecstatic to see his master, so the iron hoops fell from his chest one by one.
