Once upon a time
There lived a king in a faraway land.
The king's youngest daughter was very beautiful.
Her father loved her very much.
On her birthday
he gave her a golden ball as a present.
Thank you very much, Father.
I love it!
This is strange.
Last night
I dreamed that a very handsome prince
gave me the same ball as a present.
Ha ha ha ha!
The King lovingly caressed his daughter's hair.
Hopefully one day
you will get married, my beautiful girl.
Who knows
maybe you will marry the prince in your dream.
The princess
took the golden ball and went out to the palace garden to play.
She was throwing the ball in the air
But she couldn't catch it
and the ball rolled down into
a tall grassy area near a pond.
The princess could not find the ball and started crying.
How careless of me!
How could I've lost it?
What am I going to tell, Father?
Suddenly
she heard a sound.
Ribbit…ribbit!
Please don't cry.
I can't stand it when girls cry.
Come here.
What's that?
Where's the sound coming from?
A green frog appeared before her.
The princess looked at it in amazement.
She had never seen talking frog!
A talking frog?
But how?
I'm a very special frog.
If you allow me,
I would like to help you my dear princess.
I can go into the pond and get your golden ball.
Oh thank you!
My father will surely give you whatever you want in return.
Please bring it back to me.
Noooo.
I dont want anything from the king.
What I want is for us to be friends.
Only when you agree to this,
I will bring you the ball.
How is that possible?
You and me...
How can we be friends?
Well...
we will eat together,
sleep together,
stroll in the garden together,
play with your golden ball.
Oh, and you will also sing for me.
I have heard you, and you have a wonderful voice.
The helpless princess had no choice but to accept his offer.
Okay. Whatever you want,
as long as you bring me my golden ball.
If I can only fool him somehow.
A little frog can't make me do something I don't want to.
The frog jumped into the water,
got the golden ball, and threw it to the princess.
The princess caught it,
turned around and started running towards the palace.
She didn't want to wait for the frog.
The frog stood there, staring as the princess ran.
The next day,
while the princes was having breakfast with her father,
the frog came in hopping from one of the open doors
and jumped onto the table.
Good morning your majesty!
Good morning my princess!
I hope you're going to keep your promise beautiful princess.
I've come to have breakfast with you.
This frog is talking!
What's going on, Dear?
What promise is this frog talking about?
Yes, Father. He's a talking frog.
I was also shocked when I saw him by the pond yesterday.
The golden ball you had gifted me fell into the pond.
This frog got it out for me.
Indeed, your majesty.
In return, the princess promised to be my friend.
That is why I am here.
Please forgive me.
Then you should keep your word my dear.
Immediately, another set of dishes was put on the table,
And they had breakfast together.
UGH! Disgusting!
I feel sick.
The princess felt hopeless
as she didn't want to disobey her father.
That evening the frog jumped on the pillow next to her
and they slept together.
Of course, the princess couldn't sleep at all.
She was trapped in a corner until morning
because she didn't want to be near the frog.
Days passed.
The frog followed the princess wherever she went.
The little frog also knew a lot of fairy tales.
At night, he would tell tales to the princess
And during the day while strolling in the garden,
He would put the flowers he collected on the princess' hair.
After some time,
the princess got so use to the frog that she would worry if she didnt see him around.
She started falling in love with him.
One night the frog said…
Tonight it's your turn to tell me a fairy tale and sing a lullaby.
My mother used to sing me lullabies all the time.
The princess took the frog in her hands and started singing a lullaby in her melodious voice.
lalalala
A couple of tears rolled down from the frog's eyes.
When the princess saw how sad her friend was,
she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Suddenly,
the frog turned into a handsome young man.
The prince got up and told the princess who he really was
and what had happened to him.
A wicked witch turned me into a frog.
The only way to break the curse was if a beautiful girl kissed me.
Thanks to you, the curse has been broken.
Princess, will you marry me?
The princess was still in shock,
trying to understand what had just happened.
She then realized that he was the prince who had gifted her the golden ball in her dream.
I can't believe it.
Of course, I will!
Let's go tell my father.
They immediately went to the king and told him what happened.
The king was also shocked.
But he was also very happy that his beutiful daughter was going to marry the prince of her dreams.
The princess and the prince lived happily ever after.
