A young princess sat by a cool spring of water in the wood. She tossed her golden ball up and caught it. But then she threw it too high! It bounced away and rolled into the spring.
She peered into the deep, dark water. Her ball was gone! “I would give all my jewels to get my ball back!” she cried. Up popped a frog. “Princess, why do you weep so bitterly?”
