BR 1-05 The Frog Prince

“Princess Poppy really doesn’t want to marry Prince Humperdink. She is hoping a handsome prince will come and rescue her. Instead she ends up with a slimy frog - but might there be more to this frog than meets the eye?”
I thought she really didn’t want to marry Prince Humperdink, because she said “I would rather eat my toenails.” She ran down the path to the palace pond, throwing and catching her ball as she went. She was so cross, she didn’t see the wobbly stone. And, she slipped and fell……face first into the pond!! Her beautiful golden ball flew out of her hands. But, the frog rose out of the pond. Above his head, he held the golden ball. I thought the frog was so kind. But she promised the frog. When she arrived at her castle, she had a sinking feeling. There was the frog!! As soon as she opened the door, the frog shot inside. The frog dived into her bowl. That way, she strobe over to the frog, picked him up and threw him out of her window. Outside, the frog was lying sprawled on the palace lawn. “I didn’t mean to hurt you,” said Poppy. “I’m so sorry.” And she bent down and kissed him. Then, the frog had vanished. There was a handsome young prince. He said, “…Princess Poppy, will you marry me?” “I will,” said Poppy. And she did!!!
