Then she felt beside herself with rage and, picking him up, she threw him with all her strength against the wall, crying, 'Now will you be quiet, you horrid frog?' But as he fell he ceased to be a frog, and became all at once a prince with beautiful kind eyes. And it came to pass that with her father's consent they became bride and bridegroom.
