Welcome back to the beautiful kingdom, and a tale as peaceful as a dove. It’s been a while, but not too long for love. Now it’s time to give this story a little shove. Although it might be better to give it a nudge. One is different from the other, but which is better, you can be the judge.

With this in mind, and to refresh the tale. The last time we were here, that jumpy frog was in jail. The castle dungeon to be exact. Thrown in there rather rudely, and that’s a fact. However, it’s not the first time that a slimy amphibian flippered up. It’s not the first time he’s been, locked up.

Now what happened to put a frog in this fix? what went so wrong to put a jumpy frog in this mix? And with this in mind, what will the hapless hopper do? He wants to be in the talent show too. And about the Grand prize, whatever could it be? So lost in thoughts of the lovely Princess, he almost doesn’t see. A spooky spectre, offering an oddly shaped key.

Escape Road Key

Now on the other side of the castle, up in the tower is a sight to behold. It’s someone so beautiful and quite majestic, truth be told. The lovely Princess is sitting in the tower room, completely alone. She is in the tower room, but nothing is wrong. It’s the lovely Princess, who has such grace and is so strong. Furthermore, she is singing the most beautiful song.

Softly and magically, the lovely Lady sings. And the melody flows outward like all beautiful things. The melody of her song is so intensely vibrant, and so bright, it flows out into the universe and captivates the night. How wonderful and lovely is she, sharing her loving kindness, so eloquently.

Now back in the depths of the castle’s great belly, something is happening and it isn’t at all smelly. A jumpy frog with a gleam in his eye, found a key and it’s time to fly. Down the escape road and out into the night, that jumpy frog is about to take flight.

Flippers up and big buggy eyes alert. This jumpy frog doesn’t want anyone to get hurt. Especially the amphibians in the story. One giant leap and a fugitive frog is on his way. The journey back to the pond shouldn’t take more than a day. However, with the next hop, that slimy frog came to an abrupt stop.

Lady of the Tower

Standing at the base of the tower, the frog hears the most magical sound. It’s so very beautiful he doesn’t even look around. Instead, he looks straight up into the night, to the tower window, where there’s a lovely sight. It’s the lovely Lady, and the song she sings. And right about now, that jumpy frog wishes he had wings.

Not to spoil the moment, or distract from the scene, but there’s incoming danger, and it’s pretty mean. A castle guard discovers an empty dungeon cell. And now he’s mad as heck. Then, loudly he summons the guard, “All hands on deck”! And now, another sound fills the night. It’s flippers flapping, as a jumpy frog takes flight.
