The Frog Prince 青蛙王子

Near the king"s castle lay a dark, gloomy forest. In the middle of the forest there was a fountain.

One day, the king" s daughter went into the forest when it was very hot. She sat down on the side of the cool fountain. Then she began to toss a golden ball in the air, and catch it. It was a most interesting game to her.

The princess followed it with her eyes, but soon it disappeared. The water was very deep and she could not see the bottom.
