SCRIPT:

ACT I

A scene in the forest. The princess enters, singing and playing with a golden ball.

Princess: My, how quiet the forest is. And such a beautiful day! To make everything perfect, my father the king gave me this golden ball. It´s so precious. I´ll treasure it forever (sees well and stops suddenly). My, I´ve never seen this well before. I wonder where it came from? (looks down well). It certainly is deep. It must go down for miles. (drops ball into well) Oh, no! I´ve lost my ball in the well. What shall I do? Oh, what shall I do? (begins to cry).

Frog: (sticks head up from behind well) Croak, croak. Princess , why are you crying? Croak, croak.

Princess: Croak, croak yourself, you horrible frog! Go away! I dropped my golden ball into the well. If I could get it back, I´d give everything I own — my pearl necklace (touches necklace); my diamond bracelet (shows bracelet) — everything!

Frog: I can get your ball. But what would I do with all your fine things?

Princess: (angrily) How should I know? (turns back on frog)

Frog: (taps her on shoulder) Look, you´re upset. I´ll get your golden ball.

Princess: (turning to frog) You will?

Frog: Yes, I will — if you let me live at the castle.

Princess: What!

Frog: And let me eat from your golden plate.

Princess: Eat from my golden plate!

Frog: And let me sleep on your pillow.

Princess: (turns to audience) What nonsense this frog talks. But he can get my golden ball. And he´ll never be able to find his way to the castle. (turns to frog) Very well, find my golden ball and I´ll do what you ask.

Frog: You will have your golden ball (disappears behind well).

Princess: (looking down well) My goodness. It´s so dark down there. Where is that frog? I can´t see him. I´ll bet he´s stolen my golden ball. (she jumps back as the frog appears with the ball). You found it! You found it! (she grabs the fall and runs off stage).

Frog: Princess! Princess! You promised to take me back to the castle with you. Princess! (he shakes his head, and jumps back behind the well as the curtain falls).
