My interest in the Frog Prince story has been spurned upon by a baby frog who kindly made an appearance in my bedroom on early Monday morning (how it got there will forever be a mystery to me!). A certain manfriend did save my life, for which I am eternally grateful; but that is not to say that I didn't have a bad panic attack when I saw the said frog and how it continued long after my hero took the frog outside...
I have a bad fear of frogs and toads (confession) so to speak, as in I found myself in the fetal position from extreme fear and I don't think I have ever bolted from one spot as fast as when I saw that baby frog (seriously, Usain Bolt has nothing!) *cue shudder.
I had to be consoled by my hero for a long time afterwards with massive hugs, anyway, back to Frog Prince...
There must have been a reason as to why that stupid frog entered my room, so I had to look up the original story to make sense of why it happened to me (us)!
Long story cut short, a spoiled princess lost her favourite golden ball in the spring and *POOF*, the wild frog appeared. He offers to give her back her beloved golden ball in return that he, Mr Frog, be able to eat from the princess's dinner plate and sleep in her bed, with her at night ... for 3 nights.
Because thy princess was so consumed with happiness upon the return of her precious golden ball, she forgot to bring the frog back to her castle. But the frog arrived anyway, for 3 nights despite the princess's protests. After the 3rd night, the frog turned into a prince and they lived happily ever after. The end.
I have no idea how this relates to me at all for these reasons:
1) I am not a princess
2) I am not spoiled
3) I have a small problem when other people insist on eating from my plate (unless I let them). I mean, bitch please, it's MY plate. And MY food.
4) I also have a small problem when other people insist on sleeping in my bed - unless they're cordially invited by me.
But I must say, after re-reading the story I did get a few morals from it. Whether or not the Brothers Grimm insisted for a moral to come out of the story or not is besides the point, because I myself got a few.
The main moral I got was this...
"Appearances are just that, appearances. It is not until you get to know someone, and you let them in, that you can see them in their whole entirety."
The other moral that I got was...
"Give love a chance even though it doesn't look promising in the beginning, because you will never know how it will turn out if you don't take that leap of faith."
And this one...
"Happiness comes in many forms (the golden ball). Sometimes, happiness is masked (Mr Frog) and it might take a while to surface. Some people will be hesitant to accept it, (Spoiled Princess) but what they don't know is that when this masked happiness blossoms, it is beautiful, even magical."
I still loathe frogs (and toads) to deeeaaaath... but what can I say? The story of The Frog Prince actually does relate to me after all...
