The Brothers Grimm fairytale i have chosen is The Frog King. It is a story about the youngest and most beautiful daughter of the King. She would always go out and play with her favorite golden ball. One day the ball rolls into the water and the Princess starts to cry. Hearing her cries, a frog shows up and asks why she is crying. When she explains that her favorite ball has rolled into the deep water, he agrees to get it for her on one conditions. She must love him and let him be her companion and sleep in her bed. She agrees and he soon comes back with her golden ball. The princess then runs back to the castle and forgets all about the frog. But he shows up later that night at suppertime and when the King finds out that she made a promise to the frog he tells her she must honor it. She brings him inside and lets him eat off of her plate, then she takes him upstairs to her room to sleep. The princess was to angry with the frog that she threw him against the wall. the frog then turns into a beautiful prince and explains that a wicked witch had turned him into a frog and that the princess was the only one who could break it. The next morning they are married.
I laughed really hard when i read the pard where she throws the frog against the wall and then turns into a prince. What a shock! This story is super cute and i love the happy ending. It was nice to read a Grimm story that didnt have gore or evil things. i would recomend this book to everyone and i dont see any problems coming from the story.
