Respuestas a la pregunta
There was once a handsome young prince who had the misfortune to offend a wicked fairy.
To avenge herself she turned him into an ugly frog and put him into a well. Now it happened that the well was in the courtyard of a king´s palace and on fine days, when the sun shone warmly, the king´s youngest daughter sometimes came there to amuse herself by tossing a golden ball high into the air and catching it as it fell.
The poor frog watched her running to and fro in the sunshine. He thought she was the prettiest princess he had ever seen.
One day, the princess threw the ball up so high that when she stretched out her hand to catch it the ball bounced on the stones and fell with a splash into the water. She ran to the edge of the well and gazed down. But the golden ball had sunk far, far out of sight.
Only a little ring of bubbles showed her where it had disappeared. She began to cry bitterly. The frog popped his head out of the water.
'Don´t cry, Princess!' he said.
'What will you give me if I bring your ball from the bottom of the well?'
'Oh, I will give you anything I have,' replied the princess. 'My pretty pearls, my diamonds?even my crown. Only please bring my ball back to me!'
'I do not want your pearls or your diamonds or your crown,' said the frog. 'But if you will promise to love me, and let me eat from your plate, and drink out of your cup, and sleep on your bed, I will bring your ball safely back to you.'
And the princess promised. For she said to herself, 'What a silly frog! As if he could ever get out of the well and walk all the way to the palace! He will never find me.'
The frog dove to the bottom of the well and presently came up with the golden ball in his mouth. The princess had no sooner snatched it from him than she forgot all about her promise and ran back to the palace laughing with joy.
The next day, as she sat at dinner with the king and his courtiers, something came flopping up the great staircase?flip flap, flip flap! And a voice said:
'From the deep and mossy well, Little princess, where I dwell, When you wept in grief and pain I brought your golden ball again.'
The princess dropped her spoon with a clatter on her plate, for she knew it was the frog who had come to claim her promise.
'What is the matter, daughter?' asked the king.
'There is someone knocking at the door and your rosy cheeks are quite pale.'
