According to Grimm Tale: The Princess and the toad
There was once a beautiful princess. His father, the king was very loved by his subjects, loyal, brave, fair. He watched over the education of his daughter.
One afternoon, the princess walks through the castle park. She plays with her golden ball, a gift from his father for his birthday. She throws the ball, catches it, runs, again, sings, whirls. She reached the edge of the pond in the park, lost in her dreams, she let slip the golden ball, sees it disappear to the bottom of the pond. She sobbed: "No, no, not my golden ball!" Desperate, she kneels beside the lake, buried her face in her hands.
- "Côa ... COA. Princess dismisses the hands of his face, saw a big toad any sticky face.
- "What happens there, beautiful princess? Why are you so unhappy? "
-" I'm desperate, I lost a wonderful gift from my father, a gold ball. "
- Do not cry, beautiful princess, I can make you, but on one condition. "
-" Whatever you want, nice toad, toad nice, everything you want. "
-" I just want to be your friend, spend time with you, share your food, sleep in your bed ... "
-" Okay, but give me my ball, quick! "
Toad disappears into the deep waters of the pond. Princess impatient. The toad occurs, the ball on the back. He laid at the feet of the princess. A smile illuminates the face of the princess, she picks up the ball, the greenhouse against his heart, runs towards the castle.
- "In the future, I am less giddy, I shall not come near the pond with all its ugly toads."
The next day, the toad savior the ball of the princess at the castle. Princess refuses to admit him.
- "I will not be friends with an ugly toad all sticky, ugh! Never. " King asked for an explanation. The Princess tells him his mishap the day before.

- "Girl, you're pale, go and rest. You will better appetite tomorrow. " The Princess can not wait. She kisses her father, looks away from the toad, runs into his room. She lies. Horror! The frog enters the room.
- "Out, get out of my room, you're disgusting."
The toad jumps left, leaps to the right and presto! on the bed of the princess. It nestles against her little body all cold and slimy. Princess explodes. She grabs the toad, threw all its might against the wall.
When it crashed, the frog turns into a handsome prince. the princess's face lights up, his heart filled with love.
- "Beautiful Princess, thank you. I once refused entrance to my castle to a wicked fairy. It changed me into a toad. Only a princess could break this spell, by sharing his bed with me. "
