The Frog Prince

Life is funny sometimes. One moment you’re dropping a golden ball into a pond under a linden tree, the next you’re befriending The Frog Prince who is actually under a fairy’s spell and is really a handsome prince.

Life is funny sometimes. One moment you’re dropping a golden ball into a pond under a linden tree, the next you’re befriending The Frog Prince who is actually under a fairy’s spell and is really a handsome prince. Ah, we’ve all been there.

It was collected by the Brothers Grimm and published in 1812 in Grimm’s Fairy Tales, but the story of the Frog Prince is thought by some scholars to date back to at least Roman times. In Petronius Satyricon, the character Trimalchio says "qui fuit rana nunc est rex" ("The man who was once a frog is now a king"). Of course, they could have just been mocking the emperor Nero, who was often compared to a frog.
