Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess who lived in a castle with her father, the king. One day, while playing with her golden ball near a pond, the princess accidentally dropped it into the water. As she cried out in despair, a frog appeared and asked her what was wrong
The Princess and the Golden Ball:
The princess told the frog that she had dropped her golden ball into the pond and that she could not retrieve it. The frog, feeling sorry for her, offered to help retrieve the ball in exchange for a promise from the princess. The frog asked the princess to promise that she would allow him to eat from her plate, sleep on her bed, and be her companion.
The Princess’s Promise:
The princess, desperate to retrieve her golden ball, agreed to the frog’s request and promised to do as he asked. The frog then jumped into the pond and retrieved the golden ball, which he returned to the princess.

But as soon as the princess had the ball in her hands, she forgot all about her promise to the frog and ran back to the castle. Later that evening, the frog appeared at the castle and reminded the princess of her promise. The princess, feeling disgusted at the thought of being near the frog, tried to ignore him.
The Frog’s Persistence:
But the frog was persistent and kept reminding the princess of her promise. Finally, the princess relented and allowed the frog to dine with her. However, when it came time to go to bed, the princess refused to let the frog sleep on her bed.
