Long, long ago, in a time when wishes still came true, there lived a king who had three beautiful daughters. The youngest was also the most beautiful of the three. She loved to spend her time by the forest lake. Whenever she could she would run around and play with her golden ball by the lake.

One day she threw her ball up into the air higher than usual. The ball bounced off of the trunk of an old linden and instead of returning to the princess’s hand the ball fell into the lake. Watching how her favorite toy disappeared into the deep she cried in despair.

“Don’t cry princess,” answered a frog who was sitting on a water lily. “I will bring you your toy. But I’ll only do it if you do something for me.”

The princess would do anything to have her golden ball back.
