A long time ago, when wishes often came true, there lived a king with his pretty daughter. She was so beautiful and loving that the king always gave her everything, whatever she wanted. Father, I am bored of playing with my old toys. I want something new and exciting. I want to play with my new toys. Father, I am bored of playing with my old toys. I want something new to play with. Oh, my dear, since you are precious, I will give you the most precious toy that my grandfather gave me in my childhood. The king opened his golden safe and took a shining golden ball. Wow! Take this ball. It will shine as bright as the sun under the sky. But this is very precious. Don't lose it ever. Thank you, father. You are the best father in the world. The princess started playing in the garden. As the ball rolled down, she ran behind it everywhere. Suddenly, there came an ugly frog. Ugh! Go away, you dirty frog. I saw you from the bushes and I am astonished with your beauty. Would you allow me to be your friend and play with you? How could you even think of such a thing? I can't play with an ugly warty frog like you. I am the most beautiful girl in the world. Why shall I play with such a dirty thing? I can hop. I can jump. I can even swim and catch a ball. I am the perfect one to play with. I would rather play alone than touch a dirty frog. All disgusted, the princess went back to the castle to get rid of the frog. The next day, she came to play with the ball. She chose a lonely spot under an old linden tree near a well. How calm and pleasing this place is. That horrid frog can't find me here. She started to play with the ball. She threw it up and caught it again. While doing so, the ball shined in sunlight, so bright that it dazzled her eyes. Instead of falling back into the maiden's little hand, it dropped to the ground near the edge of the well and rolled into the well. Oh no! My golden ball! Oh my god! It's so deep! I can't see where my ball is in this deep well. She wept and wept as if she could never be comforted. And in the midst of her weeping, she heard a voice. What ails you, king's daughter? Your daughter?
