The Little Frog-Girl

Erasmus + project Diversity and Culture make the Union

When she entered the city, the rooster turned into a beautiful white horse, and The Little Frog-Girl turned into the most beautiful girl in the world.&nbsp;She wore the sundress, and in her hand, she had a spear of wheat instead of a flower.&nbsp; She entered the king's palace.

The frog came down from the tree and sang.&nbsp;The young man's heart melted with grace and he said: “Will you be my bride?“ - the prince asked. “Are you sure you want to marry a frog?“- The Little Frog-Girl asked. "I'm sure there's nothing in the world more beautiful than your voice.&nbsp;Say you'll be my bride!“ - the prince said.

The next day, The Little Frog-Girl again brought her father lunch and asked him to put her up on the cherry tree.&nbsp;While she was singing, the wind itself calmed down not to spoil her song.&nbsp;She sang and sang with cherries, that the tune echoed across the whole valley. The king's son went hunting again. He took the same road, just to hear that beautiful voice once again.&nbsp;But when he arrived at the old man's garden, The Little Frog-Girl noticed him and fell silent. “Tell me, old man, who is singing so beautifully? “&nbsp;- the prince asked again. "I don't know" - said the old man again. “And who brought you lunch?“ - the prince asked. “I went home alone, but I was so tired I couldn't eat, so I brought food here“ - father said.

The frog said yes. The prince explained he has two brothers and that their father wants to meet the sons' brides the next day. The king said he would give the kingdom to the prince whose bride brings the most beautiful flower to the castle. "You will come as my bride and bring the flower you want" - he said to The Little Frog-Girl. "I'll come" - said The Little Frog-Girl, "but you must send me a white rooster which I will ride into the castle." "I will" - the prince promised.

“My heart was enchanted by that song!&nbsp;You must know who was singing! Please tell me. If he's a man, he will be my friend, if she is a woman, she will be my bride." Now the old man hesitated and said: “I would tell you, but I'm ashamed, and I'm afraid ...“ “ Don't be afraid, just tell me“ - the prince said. And the old man told him that the frog from the branch was singing and that the frog was his daughter. “Ask her to come down and sing one more time“ - the prince said.

So the woman tied the pot to The Little Frog Girl's back and her daughter headed for the garden.&nbsp;When she got to the garden's fence, she couldn't open the door, and she couldn't jump with the pot on her back. The Little Frog-Girl started calling her father.&nbsp;He opened the door, took the pot from her back and started eating. The frog also ate a bite and then asked the father to lift her up to the cherry tree.&nbsp;

When she reached the city walls, the guards at first refused to let her enter. "The frog on a rooster - who has ever seen this!" - guard said. But The Little Frog-Girl explained to the guards that she was going to see the youngest prince, and they finally let her pass.

Her father put her on a branch, and The Little Frog-Girl began to sing.&nbsp;She sang so beautifully that it seemed as if the forest fairies were singing. The king's son was passing by.&nbsp;He was hunting, but when he heard the beautiful singing he stopped on his way to the forest and turned into the old man's garden. “Who is singing so beautifully?“&nbsp;- the prince asked The Little Frog Girl's father. The Little Frog-Girl fell silent at that moment. "No one" - said the old man. "How come no one, old man when I've just heard such a beautiful voice?" "I didn't hear or see anything" - the man replied. The father was ashamed to admit that his daughter was a frog, and he was also afraid for her.&nbsp;But the king's son was persistent. “Tell me, old man, who was singing.&nbsp;If he is a man, he will be my friend, if she is a woman, she will be my bride“ - the prince said. The old man still wouldn't tell him.

Once upon a time, there lived a husband and a wife who had no children. They grew old.&nbsp;They prayed all the time and hoped to get a child of their own, yet nothing helped. Finally, the woman said:&nbsp;“If only I had a child, even if it were a frog!“ Like all other strange wishes, this one also came true.&nbsp;After nine months, the woman gave birth to a young daughter – a little frog. The parents were so happy and took good care of their child – The Little Frog-Girl.&nbsp; The Little Frog-Girl liked to spend time outside. When her father would work in the garden or vineyard, she would be there with him.&nbsp;Every day at noon, the mother would bring them lunch.

The king was first approached by the bride of the eldest son. “What kind of flower do you have for me?&nbsp;“ - the king asked, and the first bride handed him a rose.&nbsp; The king thanked her, and the girl stepped aside. Then the second son's bride approached. “ What kind of flower did you bring me?&nbsp;- the king asked, and the girl handed him a bunch of violets.&nbsp; The king thanked her and then turned to the bride of the youngest son. He saw a spear of wheat in her hand. "You brought us the most beautiful flower," the king said - “you know there is no life without bread!&nbsp;You will know how to take good care of the kingdom.“

As soon as the prince returned home, he sent the white rooster to The Little Frog-Girl's house. The Little Frog-Girl went to the Sun and asked for a sunny golden yellow dress. The next morning The Little Frog-Girl rode a white rooster and took the sunny golden yellow dress with her.&nbsp;

Time passed, the frog grew up, and the parents grew older.&nbsp;One day, mum got sick.&nbsp;Mum said that she couldn't even get up from the bed, let alone go to the garden to bring lunch.&nbsp;Then The Little Frog-Girl said she would take lunch to her father: “I can take lunch to father.“ “But how?&nbsp;You don't have hands to carry a pot“ - mum said. "Tie it to my back and don't worry about anything“ - Little Frog said.

The king organized a wedding and left the kingdom to the youngest son and his bride. This is how The Little Frog-Girl became queen.
