Maiden and the Frog

In small villages, near the castle, lived a fair maiden with her father, a blacksmith She had fallen deeply in love with the prince, but couldn’t get close enough to him to be recognized Having no hope to be the love of a prince, she just went on with her life One day she walked to the pond with a basket of clothes to wash She came upon a frog The frog said, “O, fair maiden I’m an enchanted frog. A kiss from me will make you as beautiful as a velvet rose that stands out in the middle of a garden, The sight of you will make the Prince fall madly in love with you.” The maiden was fascinated at the thought of becoming beautiful to catch the attention of the prince and Believing what the frog had said She then closes her eyes and brought the frog to her lips Poof! O! My! An enchanted prince stood by the pond To her astonishment, there was no change in her appearance when she stared at the reflection in the pond With absolutely no remorse The enchanted prince had other intentions of his own He was in love with the prince’s sister So off he went to the castle looking for the princess The maiden was left feeling foolish with a weaken spirit and A lesson learned not to trust anyone By: Eve Roper 5/20/2015 Revised from; Homophone - Girl And The Frog Only Homo's Allowed 4/30/2015
