Long ago, before any monarchy ever graced the halls of power, a king and his daughter lived in splendor next to a verdant forest. Even though the princess was happy in her palace, she missed having someone to play games with. Her father gave her a golden ball one day as a priceless present to help her feel less alone.

The princess was happy with her daily routine in the palace gardens by the sparkling pool. But when the golden ball escaped her grasp and fell into the water, catastrophe struck. She stood at the edge of the pool, pondering how to get it out without ruining her favorite dress. Without delay, the princess approached the pool's edge and attempted to get the golden ball. However, it was far from her grasp. She noticed her lovely outfit in the crystal-clear pool and, for a split second, she regretted going down to the water.

When the frog heard the princess sobbing and realized that her beloved golden ball had fallen into the pool, he emerged from the water. The princess didn’t realise he was there and was worried about what she would do. The frog spoke to the princess, asking, "Why are you crying next to the pool when you can go down there and get the ball? Are you not able to swim?"
