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).

ACT II

Castle dining hall. The princess and king are eating dinner.

King: Princess, ever since I gave you that golden ball you have been in a hurry to finish your dinner.

Princess: I can hardly wait to hold it again, Father. It´s my favorite
