I will never see the frog again. So she agreed and the frog found her ball. The mean princess skipped home without thanking the frog.That night, there was a knock on the door and the frogs voice called out:“You promised to be my friend, please let me in.”“What promise have you make?” the king asked.“I promised to be his friend. But I wont keep my word!” shouted the princess. The king said, “If you make a promise, you must keep it.”So, she let the frog in. They ate together and he slept in her room. He was friendly and kind to her, but she was angry. The next morning, the frog hopped away. She hoped he would never come back.That night, at dinner time, the princess heard a knock on the door.
