Once upon a time in a faraway land, there lived a beautiful, magic frog named Frogella. This frog was so beautiful that people would come from far and wide to admire her. As if being this beautiful were not enough, Frogella could turn rocks into diamonds. Her father feared that an evil villain in the neighboring kingdom had plans to kidnap Frogella and use her magic to get rich. He visited the magic penguin and asked that she put a spell on Frogella so that no one from the neighboring village could recognize her. She sent a potion home for Frogella to drink. To everyone in her village, she remained a beautiful frog. But, they knew the spell worked when the evil villain came to town and asked Frogella if she knew where he could find the beautiful Frogella. When he left without seeing Frogella, the town celebrated with joy. Their beautiful frog was safe!
