Once upon a time there was a handsome prince with whom all girls fell in love. He also fell in love with the hideous witch who asked him to marry him. The prince didn't care and the witch was very angry. "If you're not going to marry me, you're not marrying anyone else!" She looked deep into his eyes and said, "You're going to turn into a frog!" Hearing this word, the prince felt a shudder. He was afraid. He believed. And he became what the word spell had said. Frog. He turned into a frog.
