A long time ago, in a far away land there lived a princess. The princess was the most prettiest, from the time she was a baby anyone who saw her admired her appearance.

　　On one special day, "Princess, the neighboring country sent this gold ball to you. The King has sent this golden ball to you princess. This is the only gold ball in the world."

　　The princess thought that she was the most beautiful person in the world. So she disliked anything that was ugly and only liked what looked pretty and tasted good.

　　The princess who had no friends always played alone on the palace lawn with her ball. "If only I had a friend to play with this ball, how nice it would be." Since she was so lonely she talked to herself. "Play ball with me."

　　The princess looked over to where the voice came from. There was nobody there. "Who is it?" "Would you like to play ball with me?"

　　The only thing that the princess discovered was a ugly frog who lived in the palace well. The most ugliest and dirtiest frog appeared in front of the princess. "The most beautiful princess, I will be happy to play with you."

　　"My goodness, how can this ugly frog think of playing ball with me?" The princess went into the palace angrily. The frog was left alone once again.

　　One day, while the princess was playing with her gold ball it fell into the well. Because the well was so dark, the gold ball couldn't be seen. So, the princess sat down with a thud and began to cry. Just then, the ugly frog appeared.

　　"Why are you crying, princess?" "My gold ball fell into your well." "I will get your gold ball, if you let me stay and live by your side?" Even though she did not like the ugly frog, she wanted her gold ball back.

　　With the help of the frog, the princess was able to get her ball back. "Princess, let me live with you." "Hyump! An ugly frog like you, I don't even want to see you." "But, you promised me." Still the frog kept following the princess.

　　When the princess was having her meal the frog ate beside her. Even when she tucked herself in bed the frog slept beside her. However, the princess disliked living with the ugly frog.

　　Several days later, the princess became so angry that she threw the ugly frog on the ground. However, instead of the ugly frog a handsome prince was standing before her. "My savior, would you marry me?" The most beautiful princess was able to marry the most handsome prince.
