Week 15 

She scrunched back into her chair as far as she could since he had never lost his taste for princely, but appetizing fare Arthur politely declined the main course, sturgeon roe fricassee.  

I’ll go for just deserts he requested, eying with glee the side cart piled high with delectable tarts scones pies cobblers and cheesecakes. 

After supper, King Morton peremptorily ordered Dorinda too set up Arthur in the Golden Guestroom. Velvet carpeted the floor silk blanketed the bed. He could tell he was going too relish his palace stay. 

The next a.m., during a substantial breakfast of sturgeon roe omelet King Morton graciously insists Arthur stay at least a week. 

Week 16 

Dorinda groaned and glancing down she noticed Arthurs hind leg inadvertently touching her omelet. “Eww”, she cried, sweeping him from her plate, and accidentally hurling him against the wall. 

Oww grunted Arthur. Oops I do believe I’ve broken your leg, I’m so sorry!, Dorinda fibbed, “wish I had broken more than just your leg, she muttered inaudibly. 

Fortunately for Arthur, the palace vet knew how to set broken frog legs. It looks like it’ll be a lengthy convalescence however he informed King Morton and his daughter. Because frog’s are slow healers he’ll have to stay in the infirmary for at least a month 

What rotten luck, Dorinda thought to herself. Not only was he going to stick around but her father insisted she bring too him all his meals. Do whatever you can to make him comfortable while hes recumbent King Morton ordered. 

Week 17 

 “Cool” she cooed while wondering how to escape infirmary duty she may have to treat this slime-ball royally but she knew how to make herself a royal pain. 

Offer to read to him—stories of his choice from the palace library, the King added. Not wanting to miss a propitious opportunity Arthur first selected the story of Jephthahs daughter. 

Now you may already know this story from the 11^th chapter of the book of Judges. Although the Princess did not it seemed to Arthur apropos. 

Jephthah had made an impetuous promise to God, that if he would give him victory in battle he would sacrifice the first thing to come out of the door’s of his house when he returned.

Week 13 

When he was a teenager sad to say Arthur was a bit swollen-headed and pretentious. One humid afternoon in July young Arthur was riding through a forest in his fathers kingdom, seeking some shady relief from the sweltering sun. 

About halfway through the forest his horse reared up, startled, a young boy stood in the path.  “Please sir I’ve lost my way”, the boy pleaded would you kindly give me a ride out of this desolate forest 

Out of my way peasant the prince retorted, oblivious that the boy was a magician in disguise, instantly the boys voice thundered For you’re lack of compassion and courtesy, you must spend your days as a frog. 

He zapped the air and the prince found himself hoping off the saddle, and plummeting onto the ground. The magician continued “perhaps as a frog you will learn humility and gratitude for simple kindness’s people might offer you [quotation continues] 

Week 14 

You will remain in this form, until a princess bestows on you a kiss, in true kindheartedness. However if you should ever tell anyone which you really are you will be fated to frog-hood the remainder of your days”. 

The frog had born his secret for 6 long years. Having come to reside in King Mortons sequestered garden he hoped he might make friends one day with one of the princess’s who frequently wandered into the garden. 

Just his luck the one he met 1^st was Dorinda instead of Maribella. And now at the table he conjectured how he might charm the Princess. 

Unwilling to touch the frog with her own precious fingers Dorinda held her napkin between her thumb and first finger, then unceremoniously grabbed 1 of Arthurs hind legs. Depositing him on the table beside her plate.

Week 12 

Princess Dorinda reluctantly slank to the door and opened it a crack just wide enough for the frog to squeeze through. I guess you can come in she sighed audibly. 

Hopping, she let him traipse behind her to the resplendent dinning hall. “Thank you for you’re hospitality sire I’m Arthur,” the frog introduced himself. 

Dorinda, her father commanded Pick Arthur up and let him feast unstintingly from you’re golden plate. Yuck I won’t touch another bite she moaned again. “Be that as it may—a promise is a promise,” King Morton reminded him. 

Now, what Dorinda Maribella and King Morton did not divine was that Arthur was not truely a frog, but a prince! You may have surmised this all ready but they hadnt read any fairy tales lately.
