There was a deep dark lake at  the end  of  the  garden.
When the weather was nice, the princess  liked   playing 
near the lake.

Unfortunately ,  one  day  she  dropped  her golden  ball 
into  the  water.  She  was very unhappy and she sat on 
the grass and started to cry.

Suddenly she heard a voice: ‘Don’t cry, princess.’
She opened her eyes and saw a large green frog.
‘Oh please help me!’ she said, ‘I can’t get my ball.’
‘I’ll help you,’ said the frog, 
‘if I can come and live with you in the palace!
’‘Yes, yes, of course. I promise,’ said the princess.

So the frog  jumped into the water and came hack with 
the ball.The princess laughed and took the ball. She ran 
quickly back to the palace and forgot all about the frog.

The frog was very angry . He followed the princess into 
the palace and told his story to the King.
“A promise is a promise” said the frog.
‘Yes,’ said the King and called his daughter. ‘A promise is 
a  promise,  my  daughter.  Take  this frog to your room 
and look after him carefully.'

The princess cried again, but she took the frog and put 
him  on her bed. The frog looked at her and said quietly.
Please kiss me, princess.’She closed her eyes and kissed 
him.
Suddenly, the frog turned into a handsome prince.

Of course, he and the princess fell in love. 
One week later they married and they lived happily ever 
after.
