Once upon a time, deep in the enchanted forest, there was a princess who filled her days with adventure and dreams of faraway lands. One bright afternoon, while the sun danced on the water of an ancient fountain, she lost her golden ball in the deep, still water. Just when she thought all was lost, a soft croak sounded. There it was—a green, shiny frog with golden eyes who promised to help her if he would receive a kiss. Although the princess had been through a thousand adventures, she had never been so nervous as she was at that moment. For how do you hold a frog without it jumping away before you kiss it? A question rarely discussed in fairy tales, but one that anyone with a grain of common sense would ask.
