The Frog Prince

A Classic English Fairy Tale for Children

Once Upon a Time...

The Frog Prince meets the princess by the pond

In a faraway kingdom, there lived a beautiful but spoiled princess. She loved playing with her golden ball more than anything in the world.

One day, while playing near a deep, green pond, she accidentally dropped her ball into the water. She cried and cried because she couldn’t reach it.

Suddenly, a frog popped his head out of the water and said, “I can help you, Princess—but only if you promise to be my friend!”

The Promise

Princess making a promise to the frog

The princess didn’t really want a frog as a friend, but she was desperate. “Yes, yes! I promise!” she said quickly.

The frog dived into the pond and brought back her golden ball. The princess grabbed it and ran back to the castle without a word.

That evening, as the royal family sat down to dinner, there was a knock at the door. “Open up! You promised to be my friend!” called the frog.

Happily Ever After

The frog transforms into a handsome prince

At first, the king made the princess keep her promise. She let the frog eat from her plate and sleep on her pillow—though she grumbled the whole time!

But when she finally threw the frog against the wall in frustration… he didn’t splat! Instead, he turned into a handsome prince!

The prince explained he had been under a witch’s spell. Only kindness could break it. The princess learned an important lesson about keeping promises—and they lived happily ever after.
