The Frog Prince
This story was awesome. I have heard the stories of princesses kissing frogs to find a prince, so maybe this story is where it originally came from. The princess was tossing her gold ball by a spring and it fell in. The frog told her he could get it for her, but she would have to let him live with her and he would be her love. After the frog pulled the ball out, she got so excited that she left without saying anything else to the frog. The frog later showed up at the door and the princess was so grossed out that she shut the door in his face. Her father told her that she was not going to break her word, so they let the frog in. After three days he turned into a handsome prince.
The Mouse, The Bird, and The Sausage
This story is just weird. It's about a mouse, a bird, and a sausage that worked together to keep their household going and food on the table. They each had a job and one day the bird met some other birds that made fun of him and told him that he was a fool. The bird talked the others into switching jobs. The sausage ended up being eaten by a dog. The mouse ended up being boiled. And, the bird ended up drowned in the well.
The Traveling Musicians
This story is very cute. It is about a donkey, a dog, a cat, and a rooster that run away from home separately and ended up all together on their way to the city to create a band. They come up on a house that had a bunch of robbers in it. The animals tried to scare them and succeeded in running them out of the house. They liked it so they stayed. One of the robbers returned when it was dark and on accident, they scared him away. They swore the house was haunted and never returned. The animals ended up staying there together. I think I might write something similar to this for my story. I still have the second half to check out first though.
