经典童话英语故事带翻译：青蛙王子

king whose daughters were all beautiful, but the youngest was
so beautiful that the sun itself, which has seen so much, was
astonished whenever it shone in her face. Close by the king's
castle lay a great dark forest, and under an old lime-tree in
the forest was a well, and when the day was very warm, the
king's child went out into the forest and sat down by the
side of the cool fountain, and when she was bored she took a
golden ball, and threw it up on high and caught it, and this
ball was her favorite play thing.

Now it so happened that on one occasion the princess's
golden ball did not fall into the little hand which she was
holding up for it, but on to the ground beyond, and rolled
straight into the water. The king's daughter followed it with
her eyes, but it vanished, and the well was deep, so deep
that the bottom could not be seen. At this she began to cry,
and cried louder and louder, and could not be comforted. And
as she thus lamented someone said to her,

saw a frog stretching forth its big, ugly head from the water.
