The Frog Prince

Once upon a time, there lived a princess whose favorite toy in the world was a golden ball.

One day she was playing by a pond. The golden ball fell from her hands into the pond.

The pond was very deep. "Oh, dear! I will never find it again!'' the princess said.

Suddenly she heard a voice.

"What is the matter, beautiful princess? Why are you crying?" siad the voice.

The princess looked down and saw a green frog.

"I am sad because my golden ball fell into the pond," said the princess.

"I can get it for you," said the frog. "But what will you give me?"

"Whatever you like, frog. How about a golden crown?" the princess asked.
