The Story of the Frog Prince by Brothers Grimm

Once upon a time a beautiful young princess lost her favourite plaything, a golden ball. It fell into the spring as she was playing with it.
She began to cry and said "Alas! If I could only get my golden ball again, I would give all my fine clothes and jewels, and everything that I have in this world.

A frog put his head out of the water and said "Princess, why do you weep so bitterly?”
She replied, "What can you do for me, you nasty frog? My golden ball has fallen into the spring!"

The frog said, "I do not want your pearls, and jewels, and fine clothes, but if you will love me, and let me live with you, and eat of your plate, and sleep on your bed, I will bring you your golden ball.

The princess agreed and the frog dived under the water and brought her the ball.

The princess was so delighted to have her golden ball back that she ran straight home and forgot about the frog and her promise to him.
The following day whilst dining with her father, there came a knock at the door. She opened it and there stood the frog, who asked her to let him in.

The King said to the princess, as you have given your word, you must keep it, so go and let him in.

She did so and he ate from her plate and then she carried him upstairs and put him on her pillow, where he slept all night long.

Three nights the frog slept on her pillow ate from her plate.

As morning broke on the fourth day, the princess awoke to see instead of the frog, a handsome prince, gazing at her with the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen.

He told her that he had been enchanted by a spiteful fairy, who had turned him into a frog and that he had to remain that way until some princess would take him out of the spring and let him eat from her plate and sleep in her bed for three nights.

The prince married the princess and they rode off in a brightly coloured coach with eight beautiful horses to the prince's kingdom and lived happily ever after.

And the moral of the story is...
The love we give to others will bring out the best in them and the love we receive from others will bring out the best in ourselves.

If there is somebody special in your life who's love has encouraged you to be a better person, why not give them a little reminder of that with the Pandora Frog Prince charm.
