\noindent\vbox to 0pt{\vss\hbox{\:a I}}{\:eN} olden
times when wish\-ing still helped one, there lived a king
whose daugh\-ters were all beau\-ti\-ful; and the young\-est was so beau\-ti\-ful
that the sun it\-self, which has seen so much, was aston\-ished when\-ever
it shone in her face.  Close by the king's castle lay a great dark
for\-est, and un\-der an old lime-tree in the for\-est was a well, and when
the day was very warm, the king's child went out into the for\-est and
sat down by the side of the cool foun\-tain; and when she was bored she
took a golden ball, and threw it up on high and caught it; and this
ball was her favor\-ite play\-thing.

Now it so hap\-pened that on one oc\-ca\-sion the prin\-cess's golden ball
did not fall into the little hand that she was hold\-ing up for it,
but on to the ground be\-yond, and it rolled straight into the water.  The
king's daugh\-ter fol\-lowed it with her eyes, but it van\-ished, and the
well was deep, so deep that the bot\-tom could not be seen.  At this
she be\-gan to cry, and cried louder and louder, and could not be
com\-forted.  And as she thus lamented some\-one said to her, ``What ails
you, king's daugh\-ter?  You weep so that even a stone would show pity.''

She looked round to the side from whence the voice came, and saw a
frog stretch\-ing forth its big, ugly head from the water.  ``Ah, old
water-splasher, is it you?'' said she; ``I am weep\-ing for my golden ball,
which has fal\-len into the well.''  ``Be quiet, and do not weep,'' an\-swered
the frog. ``I can help you; but what will you give me if I bring your
play\-thing up again?''  ``What\-ever you will have, dear frog,'' said she; ``my
clothes, my pearls and jew\-els, and even the golden crown that I am
wear\-ing.''  The frog an\-swered, ``I\penalty1000\ do not care for your clothes, your
pearls and jew\-els, nor for your golden crown; but if you will love me
and let me be your com\-pan\-ion and play-fellow, and sit by you at your
little table, and eat off your little golden plate, and drink out of
your little cup, and sleep in your little bed---if you will prom\-ise
me this I will go down be\-low, and bring you your golden ball up
again.''

``Oh yes,'' said she, ``I prom\-ise you all you wish, if you will but bring
me my ball back again.''  But she thought, ``How the silly frog does
talk!  All he does is sit in the water with the other frogs, and
croak.  He can be no com\-pan\-ion to any hu\-man be\-ing.''

But the frog, when he had re\-ceived this promise, put his head into the
water and sank down; and in a short while he came swim\-ming up again
with the ball in his mouth, and threw it on the grass.  The king's
daugh\-ter was de\-lighted to see her pretty play\-thing once more, and
she picked it up and ran away with it.  ``Wait, wait,'' said the frog.  ``Take
me with you.  I can't run as you can.''  But what did it avail him to
scream his croak, croak, after her, as loudly as he could?  She did
not listen to it, but ran home and soon for\-got the poor frog, who was
forced to go back into his well again.

The next day when she had seated her\-self at table with the king and
all the cour\-tiers, and was eat\-ing from her little golden plate,
some\-thing came creep\-ing splish splash, splish splash, up the marble
stair\-case; and when it had got to the top, it knocked at the door and
cried, ``Prin\-cess, young\-est prin\-cess, open the door for me.''  She ran to
see who was out\-side, but when she opened the door, there sat the frog
in front of it.  Then she slammed the door to, in great haste, sat
down to din\-ner again, and was quite fright\-ened.  The king saw plainly
that her heart was beat\-ing vi\-o\-lently, and said, ``My child, what are
you so afraid of?  Is there per\-chance a giant out\-side who wants to
carry you away?''  ``Ah, no,'' replied she.  ``It is no giant, it is a dis\-gust\-ing
frog.''

\loose -1
``What does a frog want with you?''  ``Ah, dear father, yes\-ter\-day as I was
in the for\-est sit\-ting by the well, play\-ing, my golden ball fell into
the water.  And be\-cause I cried so, the frog brought it out again for
me; and be\-cause he so in\-sisted, I prom\-ised him he should be my
com\-pan\-ion, but I never thought he would be able to come out of his
water.  And now he is out\-side there, and wants to come in to see me.''

\loose 0
In the mean\-time it knocked a sec\-ond time, and cried,  ``Prin\-cess,
young\-est prin\-cess,  open the door for me.  Do you not know what you
said to me yes\-ter\-day by the cool waters of the well?  Prin\-cess,
young\-est prin\-cess,  open the door for me!''

Then said the king, ``That which you have prom\-ised must you per\-form.
Go and let him in.''  She went and opened the door, and the frog hopped
in and fol\-lowed her, step by step, to her chair. There he sat and
cried, ``Lift me up be\-side you.''  She de\-layed, un\-til at last the king
com\-manded her to do it.  Once the frog was on the chair he wanted to
be on the table, and when he was on the table he said, ``Now, push your
little golden plate nearer to me, that we may eat to\-gether.''  She did
this, but it was easy to see that she did not do it will\-ingly.  The
frog en\-joyed what he ate, but al\-most every mouth\-ful she took choked
her.  At length he said, ``I have eaten and am sat\-is\-fied, now I am
tired; carry me into your little room and make your little silken bed
ready, and we will both lie down and go to sleep.''

\loose -1
The king's daugh\-ter be\-gan to cry, for she was afraid of the cold frog,
which she did not like to touch, and which was now to sleep in her
pretty, clean little bed.  But the king grew an\-gry and said, ``He who
helped you when you were in trouble ought not after\-wards to be
de\-spised by you.''  So she took hold of the frog with two fin\-gers,
car\-ried him up\-stairs, and put him in a cor\-ner. But when she was in
bed he crept to her and said, ``I am tired, I want to sleep as well as
you; lift me up or I will tell your father.''  At this she was ter\-ri\-bly
an\-gry, and took him up and threw him with all her might against the
wall.  ``Now, will you be quiet, odi\-ous frog?'' said she.  But when he
fell down he was no frog but a king's son with kind and beau\-ti\-ful
eyes.  He by her father's will was now her dear com\-pan\-ion and
hus\-band.  Then he told her how he had been be\-witched by a wicked
witch, and how no one could have de\-liv\-ered him from the well but
her\-self, and that to-morrow they would go to\-gether into his kingdom.

Then they went to sleep, and next morn\-ing when the sun awoke them, a
car\-riage came driving up with eight white horses, which had white
os\-trich feath\-ers on their heads, and were har\-nessed with golden
chains; and be\-hind stood the young king's ser\-vant Faith\-ful Henry.
Faith\-ful Henry had been so un\-happy when his mas\-ter was changed into a
frog, that he had caused three iron bands to be laid round his heart,
lest it should burst with grief and sad\-ness.  The car\-riage was to
con\-duct the young king into his king\-dom.  Faith\-ful Henry helped them
both in, and placed him\-self be\-hind again, and was full of joy be\-cause
of this de\-liv\-erance.  And when they had driven a part of the way, the
king's son heard a crack\-ing be\-hind him as if some\-thing had bro\-ken.
So he turned round and cried, ``Henry, the car\-riage is break\-ing.''

``No, mas\-ter, it is not the car\-riage.  It is a band from my heart,
that was put there in my great pain when you were a frog and
im\-pris\-oned in the well.''  Again and once again while they were on
their way some\-thing cracked, and each time the king's son thought the
car\-riage was break\-ing; but it was only the bands that were spring\-ing
from the heart of Faith\-ful Henry because his mas\-ter was set free and
was so happy.
