Synopsis: The princess was playing games by the well and accidentally dropped the golden ball into the well. After getting the promise, the frog jumped into the well and sent the golden ball out. The princess kept her promise and kissed the frog. Breaking the spell, the frog became a prince with charming and kind eyes. Later, the princess married the frog prince and lived happily ever after.
In the expansion "The Frog Prince", the handsome prince was enchanted by a vicious witch and turned into an ugly frog, living in a dirty deep pool. Compared with the luxurious life in the past, it is certainly not an exaggeration to describe the life in a deep pool with "hell". But even though the prince suffered a lot, the story never mentioned what the prince was cursed for.
The frog prince provides readers with a story pattern in Grimm's fairy tales, that is, the prince and princess suffer, and then a kind person breaks the spell for them and sets them free. The emergence of this model is closely related to the way of eliminating evil advocated by Christianity.
