But the frog when he had received this promise,put his head into the water and sank down,and in a short while came swimming up again with the ball in his mouth,and threw it on the grass.The King sdaughter was delighted to see her pretty plaything once more,and picked it up,and ran away with it.“Wait,wait,”said the frog,“take me with you.I can‘t run as you can.”But what did it avail him to scream his croak,croak,after her,as loudly as he could?She did not listen to it,but ran home and soon forgot the poor frog,who was forced to go back into his well again.
The next day when she had seated herself at table with the King and all the courtiers,and was eating from her little golden plate,something came creeping splish splash,splish splash,up the marble staircase,and when it had got to the top,it knocked at the door and cried,“Princess,youngest princess,open the door for me.”She ran to see who was outside,but when she opened the door,there sat the frog in front of it.Then she slammed the door to,in great haste,sat down to dinner again,and was quite frightened.The King saw plainly that her heart.was beating violently,and said,“My child,what are you so afraid of?Is there perchance a giant outside who wants to carry you away?”“Ah,no,”replied she,“it is no giant but a disgusting frog.”
“What does a frog want with you?”“Ah,dear father,yesterday as I was in the forest sitting by the well,playing,my golden ball fell into the water.And because I cried so,the frog brought it out again for me,and because he so insisted,I promised him he should be my companion,but I never thought he would be able to come out of hiswater!And now he is outside there,and wants to come in to me.”
