The Princess was by the river, watching her maids wash
and beat her clothes against the rocks. She noticed a bar of soap drift by,
and she watched it with a heavy heart.
A frog appeared and said: "Take me and carve
out the top of my back. That way you can safely place your soap on my back
while you wash your clothes, without fearing that it will float
away."
The Princess asked one of her maids to do so.
Afterwards, the Princess said to the frog, "Since you were so kind
enough to help me, is there anything I can do for you?"
"Yes there is. Kiss me like you've kissed all
the other frogs in the river."
She did.
