The Frog and widow's daughter (1)

The Frog and widow's daughter (1)

Once there lived a poor widow and her daughter.

A widow was baking in her kitchen and asked her daughter to go down to the well to fetch some water.

When the daughter arrived at the well by the meadow, she found that it was dry.
This made her wonder what she and her mother would do without water as there had been no rain for days and poor girl sat down and began to cry.

Suddenly, through her sobbing, the girl heard a noise, and frog jumped out of the well.

" What are you crying for ? " asked the frog.

The girl explained that there was no water and she did not know what to do.

" Well, " said the frog, " if you will be my wife, you shall have all the water you need. "

The girl thought that this was all a joke, and agreed to be the frog's wife.
Then she lowered her bucket into the well again, and sure enough, when she pulled it up, the bucket was full of water.
