Narrator:There once was a beautiful princess whose favorite amusement was a golden ball. One day, the princess tossed the ball too high, and it landed in the well. As the princess cried over her lost treasure, 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 retrieveit for you, but first, you must agree to one condition. 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. I'll just hop over to the castle to remind her.

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 bumbling 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 honor it.

Narrator:The princess was angry but obeyed her father. So, the king, the princess, and the frog enjoyed dinner together. It was mutton stew, the cook's specialty.

Frog:I was hungry, but now I'm full. Thank you for dinner. Kindly show me to my bed now.

Narrator:The princess did as she was asked, but the frog looked sad!

Frog:You have welcomed me into your home, but I can tell that you don't want to be my friend.

Narrator:The princess's 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.
