你我都聽過的童話故事「青蛙王子」,其實還有後續發展喔!除了在本學期初舉辦的「聽故事學英文活動 -青蛙王子2」中利用作者Jon Scieszka寫的The Frog Prince Continued一書有另類發展之外,本校音樂系一年級林怡君也有自己的版本要和大家分享喔!以下就是怡君投稿的另類續集:
The Princess kissed the frog. He turned into a prince. And they lived happily ever after...
However, all of the Prince's friends, including the fish and shrimp, who lived in the pond missed the Prince very much. They hoped to see the Prince soon, but he stayed at the castle with the Princess all day long. It was unfair for them that the Prince just stayed with the Princess. In order to meet the Prince, a“frog”they had lived together and been friends with, they decided to look for a witch who could turn the Prince back into a frog. Once the Prince was turned back into a frog, they would live together in the pond forever.
One day, a witch walked pass by the pond. "Miss Witch," the fish called out. "we wonder if you could turn the Prince back into a frog? We miss him so much." "Of course, my dears. I'd be glad to help." However, the witch had some other plan in mind. Although she promised to help them, she wanted to tease and play a trick on them. She waved her wand and cast a spell on them. Suddenly, the friends were turned into humans. The witch disappeared instantly.
The friends were stunned. They were so nervous they didn't know what to do except for going to the castle for help.
When they arrived, unfortunately, the Prince was not home. But the Princess welcomed them with warm greeting and treated them to dinner. They fell in love with her personality right away. They chatted happily until the Prince came home. Once the Prince walked into the room, all of them gave him a big hug.
The Princess was happy to become acquainted with the Prince’s friends.She invited them to stay and live in the castle. And they lived happily ever after.
