📜 Script
Narrator:
Once upon a time, a beautiful princess 👸 lived in a grand castle. One day, she went to the forest and sat beside a deep well with her favorite golden ball.
👸 Princess: “What a lovely day to play!”
Narrator:
But suddenly, the ball slipped from her hand and fell into the well. She cried in despair.
🐸 Frog: “Why are you so sad, princess?”
👸 Princess: “My golden ball is gone!”
Narrator:
A small green frog 🐸 appeared on a lily pad.
🐸 Frog: “I will fetch your ball if you promise to be my friend, let me eat from your plate, and sleep on your pillow.”
👸 Princess (eagerly): “Yes, yes, anything!”
Narrator:
The frog dove in and brought back the golden ball. But once she had it, the princess ran off, forgetting her promise.
That evening, there was a knock at the castle door.
🐸 Frog: “Princess, you promised!”
👸 Princess: “Father, I don’t want a slimy frog near me!”
👑 King: “A promise is a promise, my dear.”
Narrator:
So the frog ate from her plate and later hopped into her bed. Disgusted, she picked him up and threw him against the wall!
But something magical happened.
✨ Poof!
The frog transformed into a handsome prince 👑.
🤴 Prince: “A wicked witch turned me into a frog. Your kindness broke the spell—even if it came a little late.”

Ashamed, the princess apologized, and they became true friends. Eventually, they fell in love.
👸 Princess: “Will you stay with me forever?”
🤴 Prince: “Gladly, my princess.”
Narrator:
They returned to his kingdom and lived happily ever after 🐸❤️👑.
