00:00Once upon a time, somewhere very far in the land of the elves, lived three elves.
00:10These elves were getting ready to become good-hearted fairies, and off they went on their journey
00:17to the world of humans.
00:25Our duty awaits for us guys, come on!
00:28I am very excited, finally we too will see the world of humans.
00:33I want every single person to be very happy.
00:37If we help the humans and make them happy, we too will become good-hearted fairies.
00:43In an old house, there lived an old man and his wife.
00:48The old man made a living by making shoes in his workshop in their home, and sometimes
00:54he repaired old shoes.
00:57The shoemaker bought new leather to make new shoes from the money he earned.
01:01One day, he bought leather from the money he had made.
01:05He arrived home.
01:07The piece of the leather he had bought was only enough to make one pair of shoes.
01:12He left the piece of leather on the table, left the room closing the door, and went into
01:21his bedroom.
01:22In the morning, the shoemaker woke up.
01:32Sitting in his bed, he had a good stretch.
01:36He thought about the type of shoe he was going to make.
01:39And like every other morning, he finished the breakfast his wife had prepared for him.
01:45Thank you very much dear, I must be off to work now.
01:49Today I will make a very nice pair of shoes.
01:54Last night you made a pair of shoes, do you have enough leather to make another pair?
02:00The old man was amazed, because he knew he didn't make any shoes before he slept last
02:05night.
02:06And so the old man quickly ran to his workshop and his wife followed.
02:11As he opened the door, what does he see?
02:16The piece of leather he had left on the table from night before had turned into very pretty
02:22shoes.
02:24The shoemaker's eyes nearly came out of its sockets.
02:29When did I make these shoes?
02:31I do not remember, I think I have become really old.
02:37The shoes were that pretty that the shoemaker quickly put them in front of the window and
02:41waited for a customer.
02:44Soon after, a rather wealthy looking customer saw the shoes from the window and came in.
02:53Good day, I would like to buy the pair of shoes in front of the window, doesn't matter
02:57what it costs, they are by far the best pair of shoes I have ever seen.
03:02The old man with great happiness saw the pair of shoes, and he didn't ask for any more than
03:08what it was worth.
03:10This time the shoemaker was on his way to get leather for the two pairs of shoes.
03:16And again he left the leather on top of the table, and before he left the room, he turned
03:21around and had another look at the piece of leather and went off to bed.
03:29As soon as he woke up, he ran straight to his workshop.
03:32This time round, there were two pairs of amazing shoes sitting on the table.
03:38Once again the shoemaker was very happy.
03:41He placed the shoes in front of the window.
03:44The same day, he sold both pairs of shoes for a very good price, and off he went again
03:51to buy more leather.
03:53Of course in the meantime, he was wondering who was making these lovely pairs of shoes.
03:59He placed the leather on the table and went to his room.
04:02In the morning, he had a pile of shoes on the table.
04:07The shoemaker sold every single pair that day.
04:13For a very long time, the old man was able to make a living with the money he had made
04:18from the shoes.
04:20With some of the money he had made, he continued to buy leather.
04:26But the shoemaker was so curious as to how and who was making these pairs of shoes.
04:33At last, one night, he decided to hide in the closet in his workshop and was determined
04:39to find out who was making them.
04:42Tonight I will finally be able to meet the shoemaker.
04:49When the time had passed midnight, the workshop's window opened and in entered the elves.
04:56One of the elves accidentally bumped into a flowerpot.
05:01Hearing the noise, the old man jumped out of his spot.
05:07Would you be careful?
05:08You're going to wake them up.
05:10When the old man pushed the door and had a sneak peek, he couldn't believe his eyes.
05:15He rubbed his eyes, looked again, and what did he see?
05:21There were three elves on the table.
05:23They were dancing and working at the same time.
05:28One of them cut the leather.
05:30One was sewing, and the other one was gluing it together.
05:39Then they tied the laces and polished the shoes.
05:55The elves were working so fast that with the flick of an eye, there were countless pairs
06:01of shoes on the counter.
06:02They're all beautiful.
06:05Come on, let's leave before someone wakes up.
06:08The elves left as they had arrived, dancing with joy and laughter.
06:16The shoemaker stepped out of his hiding place, ran to his wife, and told her all that had
06:22happened.
06:23And of course, his wife couldn't believe what she heard.
06:28But when she saw the countless pairs of shoes sitting on the counter, she knew that her
06:32husband couldn't do them all in one night.
06:37They agreed to thank the elves for what they had done.
06:45The following day, the old shoemaker's wife prepared a feast.
06:59At midnight, when the elves arrived at the workshop, they saw the feast on the table.
07:05Look at all that food.
07:06Do you think it's been prepared for us?
07:08Of course it is for us, you silly.
07:11Otherwise, why would they bring it at this hour?
07:16I think we have completed our mission in this house.
07:19Now we can go to the other houses that need our help.
07:26The shoemaker and his wife woke up and walked into the workshop.
07:30And instead of seeing the food they had left, they saw a pile of shiny shoes.
07:36After that day, the elves never returned again.
07:40The old shoemaker and his wife were able to get by with all the money they had earned
07:44for the rest of their lives.
07:48The shoemaker thought that after working for so many years, this was his reward.
07:55That is why he never stopped making shoes.
07:59And whenever he thought about the little elves, he was forever thankful and grateful.
08:08Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful princess in a big castle.
08:13One day, her father, the king, gave her a golden ball as a birthday present.
08:19Happy birthday, my daughter.
08:22Thank you, father.
08:24The princess loved this golden ball.
08:27She started to spend all her time playing with it in the garden.
08:32One day, she went out with her ball and started to play with it, tossing it around.
08:40The princess came next to a little pond and kept on playing with the ball.
08:46Right at that moment, she could not catch the ball after she tossed it in the air.
08:54And the ball started to roll away.
08:58My ball!
09:02The princess ran after her golden ball, but the ball got faster and faster.
09:07Finally, the ball fell in the pond and sank into the deep waters.
09:13Oh, no!
09:18The princess sat down next to the pond and desperately started to cry.
09:23My beautiful golden ball!
09:25How am I going to bring it back?
09:27Suddenly, she heard a voice.
09:31Ribbit!
09:32My beautiful princess, why are you crying?
09:36Ribbit!
09:37She looked around, but could not figure out where the voice was coming from.
09:44When she looked closely, she realized that the voice was coming from the frog that was right next to the pond, looking at her.
09:52The frog leaped towards the princess and asked again after he got closer.
09:57What's wrong, my beautiful princess? Why are you crying?
10:01The princess got stunned when she saw a talking frog.
10:07A talking frog? How can that be?
10:10Well, here I am, talking beautiful princess. Now tell me, why are you crying?
10:15Coming back to herself, the princess started to tell her story.
10:20The golden ball that my father gave me fell in the pond.
10:23It's already at the bottom. How am I going to get it back?
10:28The frog came next to her feet and made an offer.
10:33My beautiful princess, I will bring back your ball, but in return I will need you to do me a favor.
10:40The princess was curious.
10:42Hmm, so what's the favor?
10:45If you accept to be friends with me, I would like to live with you in the castle.
10:52The princess thought about it and then accepted his offer.
10:56So the frog jumped in the water and went out of sight.
11:05A while later, he appeared with the golden ball and threw it to the princess.
11:10Reunited with her ball, the princess happily started to walk back to the castle.
11:14Seeing the princess leaving the frog behind, frog yelled after her.
11:22My beautiful princess, you forgot me. You promised to take me with you to the castle.
11:34Ribbit!
11:35The princess yelled out from afar laughing.
11:38How can an ugly frog like you even imagine to live with a beautiful princess like me?
11:46Ribbit!
11:48The princess left the frog right there and went back to her castle.
11:55In the evening, the king, queen and the princess sat down at the dinner table.
12:01Right when they were starting to eat, they heard a knock on the door.
12:07The mage told them that a frog had arrived and told them that he was invited by the princess and asked permission to come in.
12:15The king, surprised, asked his daughter.
12:19Would you like to tell us what's going on, my daughter?
12:22Well, daddy...
12:25The princess told all about what happened that morning at the pond.
12:30If you gave a promise to the frog to save your ball, then you must keep your word for it.
12:36The king ordered the maid to welcome the frog inside.
12:44A while later, the door opened and the little frog came in leaping and stopped next to the dinner table.
12:52A while later, the door opened and the little frog came in leaping and stopped next to the dinner table.
13:00Good evening, everyone, and thank you, my king, for allowing me in.
13:07With one big jump, the frog landed next to the princess's plate.
13:11He looked at her unhappy.
13:15The king ordered a plate for the frog, but the frog stopped him.
13:21No need for a plate. I can eat from the princess's plate.
13:30The frog started to eat from her plate.
13:33The princess was really upset with him, but she thought that he would leave after the dinner anyway and didn't say anything.
13:40But the frog had no intentions to leave after the dinner.
13:44When she left the table, he followed the princess to her room.
13:51Time passed and the frog got sleepy.
13:57My princess, I am really sleepy. I'd like to sleep in your bed if you don't mind.
14:03Afraid to upset her father, the princess had to say yes to that too.
14:09The frog jumped on her bed and put his head on her soft pillow.
14:14Trying not to show her anger, the princess laid next to the frog and slept.
14:21In the morning, the frog woke the princess up.
14:30Good morning, my beautiful princess. I have one more wish from you.
14:35If you do that, I will leave right away.
14:39Hearing that the ugly frog would leave soon, without making it obvious, the princess was extremely happy.
14:46All right. Shoot! What is it now?
14:52I want you to kiss me, my princess.
14:58The princess jumped out of her bed furiously.
15:02How dare you! That is impossible!
15:05The smile on the frog's face disappeared and instead a teardrop ran down his cheek.
15:11The princess thought for a while.
15:13Oh well, what's the big deal with one tiny kiss? Evidently, I won't see him ever again.
15:19And so she gave him a kiss.
15:23As soon as she kissed the frog, a bright white light covered the room.
15:32Due to the light, the princess couldn't see anything.
15:36After a short while, the light disappeared.
15:39The princess started to see again, but this time she could not believe her eyes.
15:45Right where the frog was standing a moment ago, there was a very handsome man instead.
15:51The princess was stunned with what she was seeing.
15:55She couldn't believe her eyes and so she asked,
15:58Who are you? What happened to the frog standing here?
16:02My beautiful princess, I am the prince of a land far away.
16:06The evil witch cast a spell on me and turned me into a frog.
16:11To break the spell, I had to spend one night next to a princess and get a kiss from her.
16:17Thanks to you, I am safe from being a frog forever.
16:23The princess was very surprised, but also very happy with what she heard.
16:28They both went next to the king and told him all about it.
16:33This should be the second lesson the frog has taught you, my dear daughter.
16:37We should not evaluate anyone by only their looks and judge without knowing the whole truth about them.
16:44The king hosted the prince for a few more days in his castle.
16:48The prince and the princess came next to the pond where they first met.
16:53My princess, will you marry me and come with me to my kingdom?
16:57The princess smiled and nodded, accepting the prince's offer.
17:03And right at that moment, a sound broke the silence.
17:08Ribbit! Ribbit!
17:13They turned and looked where the sound came from.
17:16There was a frog next to the pond, looking at them.
17:19They held their breath and waited for him to talk.
17:23But it didn't happen.
17:25They both started laughing.
17:27Don't worry, little froggy. I'm sure you two will find your princess one day.
17:32And laughed a little more.
17:35After a short while, they got married and lived happily ever after.
