The frog and the Princess – The Dandelion Potion
Some kingdoms have happily ever afters, and some kingdoms have stories only just begun. We come back to our kingdom now, yes, the kingdom of our Princess, the lovely one! I wonder what has happened, since the last time we were here? And what of the *splat* thing, so strange and still unclear?
Let’s check in at the castle, for over there our story unfolds. It seems our friend the frog has trouble at hand, he’s in deep, truth be told. He has met her! His dream, and heart’s desire. He has fallen for her again, of this he will never tire. Big buggy frog eyes opening from dreams of her, he hops back up again, his heartbeat quite astir.
Now he sees her, his breath catches fast. He can’t believe he stands before her, at long last. Her eyes, lovely, warm, and kind, were watching him closely, as he settled himself down. He tried to introduce himself, through all his awe, but all he could manage, was that strange ribbit sound.
Splat
The lovely Princess watched the frog closely, as he woke from his faint. Her grace and loveliness flowing all around, and she listened closely to his ribbit sound. Then softly she did reply, ” come now little frog, don’t be shy, you are safe here in this place, there is no frog tossing guard, to give chase” Her smile was lovely, and breathtaking too. The frog was remembering that guard, with some rue.
Now the two together, oh my, who would have thought, but there must be more, the title doesn’t read “Frog Caught.” It’s true and now it gets strange. Because the *splat* thing is much more intense, at close range. They gaze at one another for a moment and then, *splat*, they were both on the ground, again!
Once up and settled, the lovely Princess starts again, ” we must solve this splat thing once and for all! And after some thought, the court librarian I did call”, she watches the frog closely, knowing he understands, and she leans a little closer unfolding her hands. She holds a page from a book, it was old and filled with words, she sets it before the frog, and smiles softly. Wow, that smile!
Now the frog, trembling and heart afire, gazes upon his only desire. She is his universe, and he only dreams of her, and now she has given him something, and his heart is near bursting, he doesn’t know what to say. Then *splat* again, for the third time today! he steadies himself and sees once again, the old worn page, with many words written therein.
Dandelion Potion
The words on the page are strange but true, it seems they are a mixture, some strange brew. And look, on that line right there, it says Dandelion Potion, well I do declare! So this is it, the way to solve the *splat* The frog is lost in his love and care for the lovely Princess, that’s where his mind’s, really at.
The lovely Princess spoke once more before departing. It’s okay! Our story’s just starting! He listens to her voice, lost in a daze, he has fallen for her again, in a thousand new ways. She speaks so softly and her words are filled with care, “you must follow the words on the page, they tell of a place hard to find, a field of dandelions, the magical kind. “
“The field can only be found by one such as you, and of the dandelions we only need two,” *splat* oh dear, it happened again. The lovely Princess, flustered, but determined as well, resumed her instructions before bidding farewell. ” There are many dangers along the way, but you must come back in two days, to this secret room you will return, and a reward you shall earn!”
The frog smiles happily, he’s in a daze, big buggy frog eyes loving her ways. He will find this field and win this quest, for devotion to the lovely Princess is what he does best. He folds the precious page, and begins to hop, to the edge of the kingdom, where all the colors stop! Wait, did that just say? Oh snap! Already trouble, and he’s barely on his way.
Love
How exciting! This story has become an adventure as well! It was always a love story, couldn’t you tell? He’s just a frog, but he loves her with all his heart, he’s hopping faster now, he couldn’t wait to start. A reward, soon he will earn, but to be near her again, was his only concern. Her loveliness and charm, flowing all around. *Splat* once more on the ground!
What will happen and will it be good? And will Dandelion Potion work on this thing, *splat*? Why do colors stop, when outside the kingdom one goes? Yikes, that’s a lot of questions, the answer to which, nobody knows. Yet. -to be continued-
