A Frog's story - China

Once upon a time ....Reader! ah..ah.. I can read your thoughts. Please don’t skip. I made sure that this is a different story.

Once upon a time, there lived a man and a woman in a small village in China. The woman was expecting a child. After months, she gave birth to a healthy baby. The twist here is, it is not a boy or a girl but a frog. They took a very good care of their frog. It was a very clever Frog. He had a special gift. He can talk and even predict the future.

A frog story

One day, the frog said to his mom “Mom, we must go and see the king. This village and kingdom is about to be attacked!”

The father, mother and the frog went to king’s palace. The Palace guard’s didn’t allow them to meet the king. After convincing the guards finally they were in front of the King.

In the beginning, the King did not believe the frog. In the meanwhile a guard came running to the King and said “Your Majesty, an enemy army is here to attack us!

King asked for the frog’s help. The king promised him that if you defeat this army, then you can marry my daughter as a reward. The frog ordered the guards to bring 10 buckets of burning coals. He gulped it and stood near the palace‘s window and started spitting it “Oooohoff..ooohhhoff…” The enemies ran away and nobody was hurt.

The frog and his family went back home.

After few years, the frog and his family went to see the king. The king refused to give his daughter to the frog. The king said “I will give you one more chance. The princess will throw a golden ball to the handsome princes in the group; you can also stand with them. The prince who catches the ball will marry my daughter”.

Princess threw the golden ball; to everyone’s surprise the frog caught it.

The King said “I’m sorry, only a human can marry my daughter”

Hearing this, the Frog removed its skin and turned into a handsome man. The king was surprised to see the young man. He asked him “why did you hide yourself in this frog’s skin all this time?

The frog said I wanted to find out who can judge me for myself and not my appearance. And moreover this frog skin keeps me warm in winter and cool in summer.

The king said “Give that skin to me, let me try it”

The young man asked to give the King’s robe to him in exchange. The king wore the frog skin and the man dressed himself in the King’s robe.

When the king tried to take off the skin, he can’t remove it. The young man said we swapped places. The young man married the princess and ruled the kingdom wisely and kindly.  The frog stayed happily in the palace pond.

 The End

Mira said to her mom that she still feel sleepy and doesn’t have the mood to dress up and go out. And more over Uncle Kumar’s son Thiyash never shares any of his things with Mira. Mira told her mom, “Thiyash is mean and selfish too. Why do we need to share him sweets made in our home, Ma” Mom replied “Today is new year. I want you to forget all the old arguments and start to be nice from today or you will get bad luck, remember!” Mira wore a beautiful blue lehenga which had golden lotus and pink flowers embroidered on it.   She wore pink chanbali earrings and was all ready to meet her neighbors.
