But by twist of fate or lack of luck, they could not. One day the woman said,“If only I could give birth to a child, even if it was a little frog!”  \nAt that moment, a fairy laughed, and wild dreams came true all around. And so, it came to be that the woman gave birth to a girl that was a little frog. With green skin and wide frog legs. She was kind and brave, curious and quick-witted. Her parents danced around the room when she sang beautifully. They loved her for being their daughter.  \nAs time passed, the Frog Girl was still a little frog, and her parents were getting older and older. A Worry came to settle in their minds and could be seen in the corner of their eyes. They worried because good parents always worry about their child. How will the world treat their little frog girl?  \n“She is so different and little, and the world is so big,” the Worry whispered.  \n“It will turn out okay, somehow,” the old father said.  \n“Yes, it will turn out okay, somehow,” the old mother agreed.  \nEvery day, mother and father would work in their fields and around the house, and Frog Girl would follow. But one day the mother got ill, so the father worked alone.  \n“I wonder how your father is doing. I should go and help,” said mother.  \n“No, mother, you have to rest to get better. I will go. I can carry some food to father and keep him company. And maybe even help a little.”  \n“But how will you carry the food to the field? You’re just a little frog,”said mother.  \n“Don’t worry. I am little but not powerless. Put the food in a basket and tie it to my back, and I will carry it to father.”  \nIt wasn’t easy. She was little but not powerless, so she made it to the field and brought food for her father. There he ate his food and then continued working, and the Frog Girl asked him to lift her up and put her  \nin the tree. In the tree branches, she sat and sang. She sang so beautifully that it made the work easier for her father. So, each day she came and sang.  \nOne day, the youngest son of the King walked by. When he heard the Frog Girl’s song, he came to the old father.  \n“Good day, old sir. I’m sorry for interrupting your work, but I would love to sit here in your field for a bit. I hear an amazing song, and my heart won’t let me leave without enjoying every moment of it.”  \nThe old man looked at his Frog Girl looking at the young Prince and allowed him to stay.  \n“Oh, how wonderful would it be to meet the person singing so beautifully. How wise and meaningful is her song. Sir, would you by any chance know if I could meet her?”  \n“I don’t know, Prince. But what if she is strange or comes from a distant land where everyone is upside down?” asked the father.  \n“Oh, well if that was the case, then I would seem upside down to heras well,” laughed the Prince.  \nFor days to come, the young Prince would come to the field and listen to the song, and he and the old man would share stories. Frog Girl wondered why he was leading his horse instead of riding it. That evening, she asked her father,“Why didn’t the Prince ride his horse? Can you ask him?” So the next day he asked the Prince, while the Frog Girl listened from the tree branch. The Prince said,“My horse has an injured leg. But I couldn’t leave him behind in the barn all day. He’s always by my side.” For days to come, every evening, the Frog Girl would tell her father questions to ask the Prince the next day, and little by little she learned that the young Prince was a good and compassionate man.  \nOne day, the Prince came and sat under the tree but was very quiet. The old father asked him what was bothering him.  \n“My father the King gave us, his sons, a task to find brides worthy of the kingdom. When we present them to the King, he will choose the best one and decide which one of us will rule the kingdom. And I didn’t find anybody.
