Frog Prince

In a magnificent palace lived a prince named James, handsome but bad-tempered. He was known as
a disrespectful and selfish prince. Not only that, he was often not at home in the palace and preferred
to spend his time outside. In the afternoon, he felt bored and chose to walk towards the forest to get
some fresh air with his horse. As he walked along, suddenly a sorceress deliberately placed a broom
to block the prince's path.

(Di dalam istana megah tinggal seorang pangeran bernama James, tampan namun pemarah. Dia
dikenal sebagai pangeran yang tidak sopan dan egois. Tidak hanya itu, dia sering tidak berada di
rumah di istana dan lebih suka menghabiskan waktunya di luar. Pada sore hari, dia merasa bosan dan
memilih untuk berjalan menuju hutan untuk mendapatkan udara segar bersama kudanya. Saat dia
berjalan, tiba-tiba seorang penyihir dengan sengaja menempatkan sapu untuk menghalangi jalan
pangeran.)

The prince was angry and cursed the witch. He said he was not afraid and asked her to remove the
broom. The witch was hurt and cursed the prince to be a frog, a curse that could only be broken by
his true love. The clouds began to turn black and suddenly lightning struck. Along with the lightning
strike, Prince James turned into a frog. Startled, the Prince ran into the forest.

(Pangeran marah dan mengutuk penyihir tersebut. Dia mengatakan bahwa dia tidak takut dan
meminta penyihir itu untuk menghapus sapu tersebut. Penyihir itu terluka dan mengutuk pangeran
menjadi seekor kodok, kutukan yang hanya bisa dipecahkan oleh cinta sejatinya. Awan mulai
berubah hitam dan tiba-tiba petir menyambar. Bersamaan dengan sambaran petir itu, Pangeran
James berubah menjadi seekor katak.

Prince James: (angry) Who dares stand in my way with this broom? Stop and get rid of this broom
right now!

Grandma Witch: (offended) You are so impudent, Prince James! I am not afraid of you. To punish
you, I will curse you to become a frog, and this curse can only be broken by your true love.

Prince James: You think I am afraid of your bluff?!! just try it if you can, go on turn me into a frog.

(Lightning strikes and Prince James turns into a frog)

(Terkejut, Pangeran berlari masuk ke dalam hutan.)

Prince James (now a frog): (shocked and frightened) What happened to me? I must go!

(Prince James runs into the forest)

Shortly after that because Prince James did not return to the palace, the guards searched for Prince
James' whereabouts. Unfortunately, there were only clothes and horses left on the side of the path.

(Tak lama setelah itu, karena Pangeran James tidak kembali ke istana, para penjaga mencari
keberadaan Pangeran James. Sayangnya, hanya pakaian dan kuda yang tersisa di sisi jalan.
Palace Guard: (looking for the prince) Prince James, where are you?

(Guards only found clothes and horses on the side of the road)

While walking through the forest, Prince James saw a river and he approached the river. With a sad
heart, he saw the reflection of his form, a frog on the riverbank. Prince James regretted his rude
actions to the witch he met in the forest earlier. As he was looking at the reflection of his form, a
beautiful woman named Rachel arrived. She was a villager around the palace where Prince James
lived. The prince then looked for an opportunity to ask Rachel for help, he jumped towards the
woman. Surprised, Rachel backed away slowly because it was the first time, she found a talking frog.
The prince asked Rachel not to be afraid, he then explained why his form could be like that.

(Saat berjalan melalui hutan, Pangeran James melihat sungai dan mendekatinya. Dengan hati yang
sedih, dia melihat pantulan bentuknya, seekor kodok, di tepi sungai. Pangeran James menyesali
tindakan kasarnya terhadap penyihir yang dia temui di hutan sebelumnya. Sementara dia menatap
pantulan bentuknya, seorang wanita cantik bernama Rachel tiba. Dia adalah seorang penduduk desa
di sekitar istana tempat Pangeran James tinggal. Pangeran kemudian mencari kesempatan untuk
meminta bantuan Rachel, dia melompat ke arah wanita tersebut. Terkejut, Rachel mundur perlahan
karena ini pertama kalinya dia bertemu dengan seekor kodok yang bisa berbicara. Pangeran meminta
Rachel untuk tidak takut, kemudian dia menjelaskan mengapa bentuknya bisa menjadi seperti itu.)

Rachel: (approaching the river) What's wrong with this river?

(Rachel sees the reflection of Prince James who is now in the form of a frog)

Prince James (now a frog): (speaking sadly) I am Prince James, who was cursed to become a frog.
Please help me.

Rachel: (shocked) Oh, my God! Of course, I will help you.

Because Rachel was kind and felt sorry for him, she took him to her house. Day after day passed, the
frog prince spent time at Rachel's house.

(Rachel takes the Frog Prince to her house)

Prince James (now a frog): (talking) Thank you, Rachel. I regret my bad actions towards that witch

Rachel: (kind) We'll figure out how to break this curse together.

The seeds of love began to grow in the prince’s heart. However, because his form was a frog, the
prince felt inappropriate for a woman as beautiful as Rachel. One night when the Frog Prince was
asleep, Rachel came and kissed him. He did not know that she loved him too. Rachel then went back
to her room to sleep.

(Bibit-bibit cinta mulai tumbuh di hati sang pangeran. Namun, karena bentuknya adalah seekor
kodok, pangeran merasa tidak pantas bagi seorang wanita seindah Rachel. Suatu malam, ketika
Pangeran Kodok sedang tertidur, Rachel datang dan menciumnya. Dia tidak tahu bahwa Rachel juga
mencintainya. Rachel kemudian kembali ke kamarnya untuk tidur.

(They spent time together, and the seeds of love began to grow in Prince James' heart)
Prince James (now a frog): (doubtful) I don't deserve you in this form, Rachel.

Rachel: (speaking softly) No problem, Prince. I care about you no matter what shape you are.

(Rachel kisses the Frog Prince while sleeping)

What a surprise when she woke up and was about to rush out of the room, she found a man who
turned out to be Prince James. Rachel looked surprised and could not believe it. This was the first
time she saw the most handsome man she had ever met. Suddenly the Prince invited Rachel to get
ready to go to his palace.

(Betapa terkejutnya ketika dia bangun dan hendak bergegas keluar dari ruangan, dia menemukan
seorang pria yang ternyata adalah Pangeran James. Rachel terlihat terkejut dan tidak bisa
mempercayainya. Ini adalah kali pertama dia melihat pria paling tampan yang pernah dia temui.
Tiba-tiba Pangeran mengundang Rachel untuk bersiap-siap pergi ke istananya.)

(When Rachel woke up, she found Prince James who had now turned into a human)

Prince James: (happy) Rachel, it is me, Prince James.

Rachel: (shocked) I cannot believe this is real!

Prince James: (smile) Now, we must return to my palace.

(They head to Prince James' palace, where they are joyfully received by the King and Queen)

After that, they hurried through the forest to get to Prince James' palace. After reaching the palace
gate, the guards were surprised to see the arrival of the prince who had disappeared for a long time.
They then invited the prince to meet his father and mother, the King and Queen. When they arrived in
front of the King and Queen's throne, the King was happy to see his son had returned.

(Setelah itu, mereka bergegas melewati hutan untuk mencapai istana Pangeran James. Setelah
sampai di gerbang istana, para penjaga terkejut melihat kedatangan pangeran yang telah menghilang
begitu lama. Mereka kemudian mengundang pangeran untuk bertemu dengan ayah dan ibunya, Raja
dan Ratu. Ketika mereka tiba di depan takhta Raja dan Ratu, Raja sangat senang melihat anaknya
telah kembali.)

King: (happy) My son has returned!

Prince James: (introducing Rachel) This is Rachel, who has been helping me all this time. I want to
marry her.

King and Queen: (agreeing) Of course, you both have our blessing.

(One week later, Prince James and Rachel were married in the palace, and they lived happily
together)

Prince James then introduced Rachel and told her how he went missing all this time. He also
recounted the woman's kindness. Prince James asked for her blessing to marry Rachel and the King
and Queen agreed. One week later, Prince James and Rachel were married in the palace. The prince
was very grateful when he met Rachel his true love, he also realized his mistake at that time that
turned him into a frog because of his bad character. He turned into a kind-hearted Prince. They then
lived happily and were blessed with a handsome son.

(Pangeran James kemudian memperkenalkan Rachel dan menceritakan bagaimana dia menghilang
selama ini. Dia juga menceritakan kebaikan hati Rachel. Pangeran James meminta restu mereka
untuk menikahi Rachel, dan Raja serta Ratu setuju. Satu minggu kemudian, Pangeran James dan
Rachel menikah di istana. Pangeran merasa sangat bersyukur ketika dia bertemu dengan Rachel,
cinta sejatinya, dan dia juga menyadari kesalahannya pada saat itu yang membuatnya berubah
menjadi seekor kodok karena sifat buruknya. Dia berubah menjadi Pangeran yang baik hati. Mereka
kemudian hidup bahagia dan diberkati dengan seorang putra tampan.)
