Lesson 3: Princess and the Frog<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful princess who had a delicate, golden<\/strong><\/span> ball. One day, while playing in the garden, the ball fell into a pond<\/strong><\/span>. The princess was very sad and did not know what to do. She started to cry. Then, a frog jumped out of the pond and asked, \u201cWhy are you crying, princess?\u201d She pointed at the pond and told him about her golden ball.
\nThe ugly<\/strong><\/span> frog said, \u201cI can get your ball, but what will you give me?\u201d
\n\u201cI will give you any\u00adthing you want!\u201d promised the princess. The frog immediately<\/strong><\/span> jumped into the water and got her ball. The princess was very happy. The frog then said, \u201cRemem\u00adber that you promised<\/strong><\/span> me anything. I want to be your friend, eat from your plate, and sleep in your palace!\u201d
\nThe princess hated the idea, but she agreed. \u201cCome to the palace tomorrow, and I will give you these things.\u201d
\nThe next morning, the frog was waiting for her. He said, \u201cI have come to live in your palace.\u201d The princess did not like the idea, but she said, \u201cA promise is a promise. You can live here.\u201d
\nEvery day, she let the frog eat from her plate during dinner and prepared a soft bed for him at night. She talked to the frog, and they became good friends. She stopped hating him because he was ugly. The princess soon forgot about her promise, and was nice to the frog only because she loved him.
\nOne day, the frog turned into a handsome prince! He told the princess that he had been under the spell of an evil<\/strong><\/span> witch. Her kindness and friendship had broken the spell<\/strong><\/span>. The two were soon married and lived happily ever after.<\/p>\n
