the Toad Prince

(A little photo story featuring my Iplehouse BID Bonnie and Mr. Ropuha the Toad, by Whispering Grass)

One fine spring day, a lonely little princess went out into a field of flowers to play with her ball......

There was no one to toss her ball to.....so she would toss it and run after it herself....

But then she tossed it so far, that she couldn't find it in among the tall flowers.......

She looked and looked, but just couldn't find it.....

Wherever could it be?

There was a toad in the field of flowers, who was trying to catch some butterflies.....

He heard the Princess looking for her ball, and thought he'd help look for it....

The princess was very surprised when he appeared in front of her with the ball....

He handed her the ball. 

She was so happy to have her ball back, and because she had been raised properly, she knew she should thank him. 
She asked the toad what he would like as a reward for having found her special ball.  

The Toad asked for a kiss!  The princess hesitated, as she didn't really want to kiss him, but she remembered the 
bedtime stories her parents had read her about what happens if a princess kisses a frog. He turns into a Prince! 
She thought she would love a playmate, so she picked him up.....

She gave him a kiss......and suddenly the world seemed to have grown ever so much bigger!!   What happened????

"I'm a FROG!!!!!!!!! How did this happen???"

The little Princess had mistaken the toad for a frog, and as everyone knows, toads don't change into Princes.  Only frogs do.
Oh well, at least she had someone to play with now, and they hopped off together to play ball.
