Once upon a time, in a kingdom far, far away, there lived a beautiful princess named Isabella. She had long, flowing hair the color of sunshine and eyes as blue as the clearest sky. Princess Isabella was kind and gentle, and she loved to play by the edge of the sparkling lake near the castle.
One sunny afternoon, as Isabella was playing by the lake, she accidentally dropped her favorite golden ball into the water. She was heartbroken, for the ball was a gift from her father, the king, and it held a special charm that brought her joy.
As she sat on the grass, tears streaming down her face, a frog suddenly hopped out of the water. He was not an ordinary frog, for he could speak! “Why are you crying, fair princess?” asked the frog.
Isabella told him about her lost golden ball. The frog, with a twinkle in his eyes, said, “I can retrieve your ball for you, but you must promise to let me live in the castle with you and be your friend.”
Desperate to get her ball back, Isabella agreed. The frog dived into the water and, after a moment, emerged with the golden ball in his mouth. Overjoyed, Isabella took the ball and ran back to the castle, forgetting all about her promise to the frog.
The next day, as the royal family sat down for dinner, there was a knock on the door. To everyone’s surprise, it was the frog! He reminded Isabella of her promise, and the king, being a man of his word, insisted that she honor it.
Reluctantly, Isabella let the frog into the castle. He hopped around, following her everywhere she went. One night, as Isabella was getting ready for bed, the frog climbed onto her pillow. “Please, turn me back into a prince,” he said. “For I am under a wicked witch’s spell, and only a princess’s true love’s kiss can break it.”
With a heavy heart, Isabella leaned down and kissed the frog. To her amazement, the frog transformed into a handsome prince! His eyes sparkled with gratitude, and he thanked Isabella for her kindness and bravery.
From that day on, Prince Frederick and Princess Isabella lived happily together in the castle, ruling the kingdom with love and wisdom. And they never forgot the importance of keeping promises and the magic of true love.The story is over. You can click here to see more bedtime stories.
