A golden ball splashes into the deep forest spring while a frog watches

Page 1

On a warm day, a princess went to her favorite spring in the forest. She tossed a golden ball into the air and caught it again and again.

One throw went too high. The ball rolled into the deep spring and vanished. As she cried, a frog lifted his head above the water.

The frog offered to find the ball. He wanted no jewels. Instead, he asked the princess to welcome him as a friend, let him eat from her plate, and give him a place to sleep.

The princess agreed, thinking he would never leave the spring. The frog dived deep and returned with the golden ball.
