Once upon a time their was beautiful Princess named Mary who lived in a stunning castle with much wealth to herself. Mary was happy in this castle, but she only had one wish, to marry a beautiful rich Prince that would play in the golden gardens of the castle amongst her. The Princess ,Mary, thought she was loved by all in her kingdom, but it was true that most of the people in her kingdom despised her and seeked to take all that she had.
One day a box arrived at Princess Mary's door. Filled with curiosity Mary opened the box to find a frog and under the frog sat a letter. The letter said;
Dear Princess Mary,
"We are your people and we want to help you with your loneliness inside that large castle, so here inside this box is a magical frog. This frog is actually a beautiful prince that has been cursed by an evil witch, and if you can remove the curse than he will become the Prince you have dreamed of. To remove the curse you must give him a place to sleep, royal food, and money which he will then use to buy you a ring and marry you."
The Princess Mary of course offered him a place to sleep, food, and money. She sat down and watched the frog jump around, and imagined how fantastical her wedding was going to be, but the frog never bought her a ring. Mary thought that the things she had given the frog wasn't enough so she gave the small frog more and more until she had nothing more to give. So bewildered and poor she sat on the dusty roads of the village begging for money, but only receiving mean stairs and awful looks. She did not live happy ever after.
This was a very good fractured fairytale! The idea is original, clever, and was similar to the original theme. The plot twist was something that really tied the story together.
