Iron Horny

The Frog Prince, another famous story for my favorite brothers. A German fairy tale calls the Iron Horny. In the story a young princess walks along a path by the spring. She carry with a golden ball, tossing the ball up in the air she losses her ball. The ball rolls down in a deep spring. Sadly little princess bags for someone to help her. A frog pops up out of the water and says “I will help you if you allow me to eat off your plate and sleep in your bed.” Princess thinking he can’t not get out of the spring agrees. The frog swims down to the bottom of the spring and bring the princess back her golden ball.  The princess forgetting her promise runs away with her ball. The next day the frog comes to the princess door, with command for her father she lets the frog in as she promised. This happens for three nights before to frog turn into a prince. They get married and live happily ever after.

Basic this story is a teaching tool in my mind. First you have that you must keep you promises, even if you don’t feel like it. There’s also the “Don’t judge a book by the cover.”  A frog that turns into a beautiful prince, what girl would want that?

The frog prince is not as popular as say Cinderella or Snow White but it is a magical story and it one of my favorite. The thought that nothing is as seems hits me to the core. I was a bit of an awkward geeky girl, glass and books. So, the thought that we all have a princess or prince deep inside of us.
