The Frog King – Chapter 2
An Unexpected Visit
The next day, the princess had already forgotten the frog completely. 👁
When she was having lunch with her family, it suddenly knocked at the door. 👁
The princess went to see who was at the door. 👁
When she opened it, the frog stood in front of her. 👁
The girl immediately banged the door shut and got back to her seat at the table. 👁
The king noticed the frightened look on her face and asked his daughter: 👁
"What happened? 👁
Was there a giant at the door, that scared you so much?" 👁
The princess replied: 👁
"No, not a giant, but a frog. 👁
When I went to the forest yesterday, my golden ball fell into the well. 👁
I promised the frog to take him with me into the castle if he brings it back to me." 👁
Now the king got angry and said to his daughter: 👁
"A promise is a promise. 👁
Go and let the frog in!" 👁
After she had opened the door, the frog leapt in and followed the princess to the table. 👁
"You have promised that I may eat from your plate and dring from your cup.", 👁
said the frog. 👁
At first the princess refused. 👁
But after the king gave her a stern look, she made some room at the table. 👁
The frog ate the food from her plate and drank the water from her cup. 👁
Then, it said to the princess: 👁
"Now I'm full. 👁
Please take me to your room, because I'm tired." 👁
The princess began to cry again, because she didn't want to sleep next to the cold and ugly frog. 👁
But the king once more commanded to keep her promise. 👁
So the two went to the princess's room. 👁
When they reached the room, the frog said: 👁
"The bed is too high for me, please help me up!" 👁
Now the princess got angry, picked him up and threw the frog against the wall with all her might. 👁
But what fell down again, was not an ugly frog anymore, but a prince with fair and gentle eyes. 👁
The prince said: 👁
"I was bewitched by an evil witch and turned into a frog. 👁
Only you could safe me." 👁
The prince offered the princess to accompany him to his kingdom, then both fell asleep. 👁
The next morning, a carriage waited at the castle gate to pick them up. 👁
The coachman was pleased to see the prince again, he had been worried about his well being. 👁
The princess said farewell to her parents and the two drove off together. 👁
The End
