Story of the Foreign Fairy Chapter 7

In ancient times, people's best wishes often became reality. In that fascinating time, there once was a king. The king had several daughters, all of whom were very beautiful; especially his youngest daughter, who was as beautiful as a fairy. Even the sun, which had seen a lot, was impressed by her beauty every time it shone on her face. I was amazed.

Near the king's palace, there is a large dark forest. Under an old lime tree in this forest, there is a deep pool. When the weather was hot, the little princess often came to this forest and sat by the cool pool. When she was bored sitting there, she took out a golden ball, threw it into the air, and then caught it with her hands. This became her favorite game.

Unfortunately, one time, the little princess stretched out her two little hands to catch the golden ball, but the golden ball did not fall into her hands. Instead, it fell to the ground and rolled into the puddle. The little princess stared at the golden ball closely, but the golden ball suddenly disappeared in the pool. Because the water in the pool was very deep and the bottom could not be seen, the little princess started to cry. Her crying became louder and louder, and she cried very sadly. While crying, the little princess suddenly heard someone saying loudly: "Oh, princess, what's wrong with you? Even the stone will feel distressed when you cry so loudly." After hearing this, the little princess looked around , trying to figure out where the voice came from, only to find a frog sticking out his ugly fat head from the water.

"Ah! It's you, the good swimmer," the little princess said to the frog. "I'm crying here because my golden ball fell into the pool."

"Well, don't be sad, don't cry," replied the frog, "I have a way to help you. If I help you fish out your golden ball, what will you give me in return?"

"My dear frog, I can give you anything you want," replied the little princess. "My clothes, my pearls and gems, and even this golden crown that I wear on my head."

After hearing this, the frog said to the little princess: "I don't want any of your clothes, your pearls, your gems, and your golden crown. However, if you like me, let me be your good friend." , let's play together, let me sit at the same table with you when we eat, eat from your little gold plate, drink from your little goblet, and let me sleep in your little bed at night; if you agree to all this If nothing else, I will dive into the pool and fish out your golden ball."

"Okay, great," the little princess said, "As long as you are willing to fish out my golden ball, I will agree to all your requests." Although the little princess said this, she thought in her heart: "This one Frogs are so stupid, all that nonsense! He only deserves to squat in a pool and croak with other frogs. How can he be a good friend to humans? "

After the frog got the promise from the little princess, he plunged his head into the water and dived into the pool. After a while, the frog came out of the water with the golden ball in its mouth, and then spit the golden ball on the grass. The little princess couldn't be happier to see her beloved toy again. She picked up the golden ball and ran away.

"Don't run! Don't run!" the frog shouted, "take me with you! I can't run as fast as you."

Although the frog screamed at the top of his lungs, it was of no use. The little princess ignored the frog's cry and ran straight home, soon forgetting all about the poor frog. The frog had no choice but to jump back into the pool.

The next day, the little princess had just sat down at the dining table with the king and ministers, and had just begun to eat from her little golden plate, when she suddenly heard a snapping sound. Following the sound, something jumped up the marble steps. When it reached the door, it knocked on the door and shouted loudly: "Little princess, open the door quickly!" Hearing the shout, the little princess hurried to the door to see Look who is shouting outside the door. When I opened the door, I saw that it was the frog squatting in front of the door. When the little princess saw it was a frog, she closed the door suddenly, turned around and hurried back to her seat, feeling extremely frightened. The king noticed that the little princess looked flustered and asked her:

"Child, why are you so scared? There must be a giant outside the door who wants to take you away, right?"

"Ah, no," the little princess replied, "it's not a giant, but a nasty frog." "What does the frog want to do with you?"

"Oh! My good father, yesterday, I went to the forest. When I was sitting by the pool and playing, the golden ball fell into the pool, so I cried. I cried very sadly, and the frog came for me. I fished out the golden ball. Because the frog asked me to be his friend, I agreed, but I never thought that he would climb out of the pool and come all the way here. He's outside the door and wants to come over to us." While he was talking, he heard another knock on the door, followed by a loud shout:

"Little princess, my love,

Open the door quickly!

The one who loves you has arrived,

Open the door quickly!

You won't forget yesterday,

By the pond under the old linden tree,

The pool is so deep that no ball can be seen,

It was you who made the promise yourself. "
  
After hearing this, the king said to the little princess, "You must not break your promise. Go and open the door and let him in." The little princess walked over and opened the door. The frog jumped in and then followed the little princess to the seat. , and then shouted loudly, "Hold me to your side!"

The little princess trembled with fear, but the king told her to do as the frog said. The frog was placed on the chair, but he was not very happy and wanted to go to the table. After getting on the table, she said, "Can you push your little golden plate over a little? That way we can eat quickly." Obviously, the little princess was very reluctant to do this, but she still pushed the golden plate away. past. The frog ate with gusto, but the little princess had no appetite at all. Finally, the frog said, "I've had enough. Now I'm a little tired. Please take me to your little bedroom, spread out your satin quilt, and then we can go to bed."

The little princess was afraid of this cold frog and didn't even dare to touch it. As soon as I heard that he was going to sleep in his neat and beautiful little bed, I started to cry.

When the king saw the little princess like this, he angrily said to her, "Anyone who helped us in our difficult times, no matter who he is, should not be despised later."

So, the little princess picked up the frog with her two delicate fingers, took him upstairs, and placed him in a corner of the bedroom. But as soon as she lay down on the bed, the frog crawled to the bed and said to her, "I am tired, and I also want to sleep in the bed."

Please carry me up, or I will tell your father. "

Upon hearing this, the little princess flew into a rage, grabbed the frog, and threw it against the wall.

"Now go to sleep if you want, you ugly B@st@ard!"

Unexpectedly, when he landed, he was no longer a frog, but suddenly turned into a prince: a prince with bright eyes and a smile on his face. Only then did the prince tell the little princess that he had been bewitched by a vicious witch. No one could save him from the pool except the little princess. So, in accordance with the king's will, he became the little princess's close friend and companion. Tomorrow, they will return to his kingdom together. The next morning, when the sun climbed up the mountain, a large carriage drawn by eight horses had stopped in front of the door. The horses had white feathers on their heads, and the horses were covered with glittering harnesses. . Behind the carriage stood the prince's servant, loyal Henry. Henry was so distraught after his master was turned into a frog that he put three iron hoops around his chest to prevent his heart from breaking with grief.

The carriage came to take the young prince back to his kingdom. The loyal Henry helped his master and princess into the carriage, and then stood behind the carriage. They had just walked a short distance after getting on the road when they suddenly heard a crackling sound, as if something was broken. On the road, there was a crackling sound again and again. Every time the prince and princess heard the sound, they thought it was something broken in the car. In fact, it was not the case. The loyal Henry was overjoyed to see his master so happy, so the iron hoops collapsed from his chest one after another.
