Week 9 

“Oh yes benevolent frog!” (Notice that in fairy tales, character’s don’t have great curiosity about such oddities as talking frogs—or, maybe Dorinda was to self-centered to think about any one other than her. 

“I’ll gladly do so, with one stipulation the frog responded. “Anything! My dad’ll kill me if I loose that ball, which cost him a Royal Fortune. Its gold you know. 

“Well I didn’t know anything of the sort but I do think I could dexterously retrieve it. Here are my terms I’ll bring you the ball if you’ll treat me at your table in the castle let me dine from your very own plate and allow me to dwell one night in the palace”. 

Sure thing Dorinda responds hastily perhaps a little to curtly. With that, the frog hops back into the water disappears four a few moments then returns, panting as only frogs can pant with the ball. 

Week 10 

You didnt tell me it was solid gold he wheezed. Princess Dorinda didnt hear him, she had all ready skipped back to the palace, tickled with the return of her treasure. 

That evening while the royal family dined sumptuously they heard a faint tapping at the castle door, moments later, the footman appeared, with a message for Princess 

Dorinda. 

“Princess” he began. You have a visitor at the door excusing herself from the table Dorinda hastened away. When she opened the door however blood drained from her 

face, their squatted the forbearing frog. 

“You forgot you’re pledge to treat me hospitably at the palace” he croaked she slammed the door in his face. Dorinda who was at the door, King Morton inquired when she returned to the table.
