Narrator: One day, a golden ball landed in the well. As its owner, the princess cried out loud. Suddenly, she heard someone ask a question.
Frog: Why are you so sad, beautiful princess?
Narrator: The princess looked around and saw only a frog.
Princess: My favorite golden ball fell into the well.
Frog: I can get it back for you, but first, you must promise to take me home and be my friend.
Narrator: The princess didn’t want to be friends with a frog, but she promised anyway. When the frog brought her the ball, the princess snatched it from him and hurried home!
Frog: What a selfish princess. I’m certain that she has forgotten her promise.
Narrator: The frog hop-hop-hopped through the grass and knocked on the heavy door of the castle.
Princess: What are you doing here, you silly frog?
Frog: Dear princess, I am here to remind you of the promise you made.
Narrator: The princess slammed the door in the frog’s face with a big BANG.
King: I heard a door slam. What’s happening? If you made a promise you must keep it.
Narrator: The princess was angry but did as her father said. So, the king, the princess, and the frog enjoyed dinner together.
Frog: Thank you for dinner. Kindly show me to my bed now.
Narrator: The princess did so, but the frog still looked unhappy!
Frog: You have welcomed me into your home, but I can tell that you don’t want to be my friend.
Narrator: The princess’ face went red, for what the frog said was true. She bent down to kiss the frog, but ended up kissing a prince.
Frog: I am a prince who was turned into a frog, and your kiss turned me back. Thank you, dear friend!
Narrator: The prince and princess were wonderful friends from that day on and lived happily ever after.
