Three princesses live in a castle.  The two older ones love fairy tales and argue about who would treat a frog prince better.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Princess Martha rolled her eyes.  She liked facts more than fairy tales and real frogs more than enchanted ones.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But a clever frog has been listening to the princesses talk.  He figures out a clever scheme for getting the princesses to let him sleep in a soft bed and eat fine foods.  Just tell them he\u2019s a prince!<\/p>\n<p>The two older princesses fall for it!  They treat the frog like the prince he claims to be.<\/p>\n<p>Martha has more insight.  And she brings the story to a surprising conclusion that left me with a big smile.<\/p>\n<p>A very fun story.
