The Frog King
"The Frog King," also known as "The Frog Prince," is a famous folk tale collected by the Brothers Grimm. Here's a summary of the plot:
Once upon a time, a young princess was playing with a golden ball near a pond. Accidentally, she dropped her ball into the water, and it sank to the bottom. Distraught, she began to cry. A frog, who lived in the pond, heard her cries and offered to help. In exchange for retrieving her ball, he asked for her friendship and companionship, promising to be her faithful companion.
Though repulsed by the idea of befriending a frog, the princess agreed to the frog's request. He dived into the pond, brought back her golden ball, and the princess, wanting to keep her promise, took him home. However, she had no intention of keeping her word and treated the frog with disdain.
That night, the frog appeared at the princess's door, reminding her of her promise. Feeling obligated, she allowed him to come in. The frog sat with her at the table, ate from her plate, and even slept on her pillow. The next morning, the princess found the frog transformed into a handsome prince.
The prince explained that he had been cursed by a wicked witch, and only the princess's willingness to be his friend could break the curse. By keeping her promise and showing kindness, she had released him from the enchantment. Overjoyed, the princess and the prince fell in love and, in many versions of the story, married, living happily ever after.
"The Frog King" is a tale that teaches themes of kindness, honor, and the importance of keeping one's promises. It conveys the idea that appearances can be deceiving and that true beauty lies within a person's character.
