Every morning she would come down to the pond, when all the ladies would've finished their early morning chores and a silence would accumulate on the still waters. She would then take a dip and from a distant depth inside the pond a handsome prince would stare at her. She would then get lost in his beautiful blue eyes.
A lot was said through the exchange of their glances. Her daily shower not only cleansed her physically but the cleansing was spiritual too. It was like meeting a special friend every morning who would give her hope to move on in life.
That one morning was different. She was in the pond, as she took water by her cupped hands and poured it on her head. Her eyes were closed as drops of tears mixed with the pond water flowing down her cheeks.
She opened her eyes and saw the prince staring at her. Even the water's depth couldn't hide his expression of devastation. She sobbed and suddenly saw the prince's face moving towards her. She couldn't resist and moved towards the water bed. There was a moment of utter silence as their lips were about to meet. Just then a flash of light appeared from the water. She closed her eyes and moved away.
After a while she slowly opened her eyes and saw a blue eyed frog floating on top of the water surface.
She angrily slapped the water surface and ran back home. Her early morning bathing routine now happened early, with all the other ladies and with lots of gossip.

She'll fall in the love with a handsome blue eyed prince but not with an ugly frog. Yep.
