Shadowing Practice: GFTC - The Frog Prince - Learn English Speaking with Video

Hey, come along and join the fun.

It's a time for fairy tales.

Magical kingdoms in the sun.

Come along, come along.

Meet friendly elves and witches,

too In the world of fairy tales Enchanted castles wait for you Come along,

come along To where life is a fantasy And every story ends so happily

This is the place where dreams come true A world of fairy tales for you

This is a tale of long ago A tale from a

land where everyone believed in magic spells Where people believed that

if you wished and worked long and hard for something your wish would come true.

The king who ruled over this beautiful land was King Bartholomew.

King Bartholomew had three daughters, Princess Agatha, Princess Martha, and the youngest and by far the most fair, Princess Leonora.

Bye, I'll return before dark.

On this particular day, as on many others just like it, Leonora rushed out of the castle

and through the courtyard without stopping to greet the townspeople who were going about their day's business.

The townspeople were so used to seeing Leonora scurrying along towards the castle gates

that not an eyebrow was raised towards her manner that might otherwise be considered unladylike.

Mm, the princess.

The guards at the gate were always quite protective of the carefree princess.

Uh, ma 'am, will you be gone long, and where are you going?

I'm going into the forest.

I suppose you'll be paying a visit to that little pond again.

Yes, and don't worry.

I'll be sure to return before dark as usual.

Please do, Princess.

You know how angry His Majesty will get if you return late and the gates are locked.

I won't be late.

But the poor guards were never sure that the high -spirited princess wouldn't stay out after sunset one of these days.

Because Leonora was in love with the fields and fresh air of the forest,

she was drawn as if by magic to the little pond in the middle of that forest.

the princess always carried with her a single cherished object a little ball made of gold little did she know

that on this day and partly because of

that ball the pond would be the start of an unusual adventure for her pond was now inhabited hmm it's

that princess we saw yesterday It was there that lived a servant named Henry, as well as a very unusual prince.

Hello.

Excuse me, Your Highness.

Are you there?

Hmm.

It's me, Henry, Your Majesty.

Would you please come up for some air?

It's very important.

Ah.

Uh, swimming is so difficult.

What is it, Henry?

Remember yesterday?

You and I saw a princess leave here just as we arrived?

Well, guess what?

She's coming back again.

Hmm.

Does she appear to be alone, or did she bring a servant?

She comes alone, Your Highness.

She's by herself.

The opportunity we've been waiting for has finally come.

You must try to call out to her.

Well, perhaps.

I think.

Perhaps, you say?

You must try to make friends with her, sir.

That's the only way you'll break this magic spell.

If you don't, you will stay a frog forever.

but she is far too beautiful

but she is what we need to break the spell in

my very humble opinion this is no time for hesitation well I don't want your opinion pardon my anger Henry

but I am the one under the spell Henry I'm nothing

but a warty frog right now so I would scare the girl

and she'd run away I'm too ugly it would break my heart

if she treated me like an ugly animal your Your highness, I'm afraid being faint of heart is absolutely out of the question.

You have only to remember that you're still a prince.

Before that witch cast her spell, why, sir, you were the bravest man to be found anywhere.

Don't get excited.

You're choking me.

It's painful.

Sir, you simply must recover that bravery.

You must be bold like you used to be.

Now hop over and introduce yourself to that beautiful princess.

I know, but even if we could manage to become friends, would she bring me back to the castle with her?

Why not?

Intend it to happen, and it will.

Remember, you must get the princess to kiss you in order to break the spell. Have courage.

Talk to her.

All right.

Just then the princess approached.

Henry clambered up the tree and the frog prince jumped back into the pond.

Having just climbed the rather steep hill and it being such a fair and warm day, Leonora decided to refresh herself by stopping for a drink of

water as luck would have it she went straight to where Henry and the Frog Prince were hiding

the Frog Prince waited for he was very shy she is very beautiful

and would satisfy the evil witches requirement he thought

but would he be able to get her to kiss him and thereby take away the evil spell Ah, there's none better than this water.

It is so good to sit by my beautiful pond and smell my very own flowers.

Mmm.

And to see the deer and the birds.

Yes, Leonora was quite at peace in the forest.

But her peace was soon to be disturbed.

now what shall i call out to her excuse me i was just passing through

and no no that just won't do

you are my most treasured possession in the whole kingdom my

golden ball is more precious to me than anything it looks like all

that she is thinking about is

100

that golden ball I'd better take a little time to practice being charming Henry how's this hello oh I like

101

that one sir no I'm afraid not sir sir I think that you've practiced enough.

102

The time has come to make your approach before the princess leaves for the castle.

103

The right approach is very important.

104

The princess will laugh at me if my manners are improper.

105

I completely agree with you, sir, but listen to me.

106

She's not going to remain here and play with that little ball forever.

107

Look, she's already moving away.

108

Our princess seems to be She's quite involved with that toy of hers.

109

Do you think that we still have time, Henry?

110

Hmm?

111

Uh...

112

But why waste time when you can act right now, Your Highness?

113

After all, we don't want to get careless when a golden opportunity like this is placed before us.

114

Henry, you forget that timing is of the utmost importance, and I must work myself into the right frame of mind.

115

Well, if you lose her, don't come crying over spilt milk to me, because I tried everything I could think of to help you get over this spell.

116

Will you please be quiet, Henry?

117

If you do not stop this aimless chattering, I will not be able to concentrate.

118

Well, I was just trying to help.

119

Well, I don't need it.

120

Oh, my ball.

121

Come back.

122

Oh, no, stop.

123

Uh -oh.

124

Oh.

125

Oh, my, look what's happened to my precious golden ball.

126

I'll never be able to reach it.

127

The water's too deep.

128

It must have hit bottom.

129

I can't see it.

130

Down he plunged through the murky waters.

131

Luckily, he was so stunned by the ball's impact that he finally let go of it and began floating to the top.

132

Oh, my heavens!

133

I've lost my ball!

134

This pond is much too deep for anyone to find it I've lost my ball forever

135

The Frog Prince finally reached the pond's surface What's that?

136

Hey, my ball, it is floating It's a miracle, my precious golden ball is floating back up to the surface of the pond Come on now,

137

please bring my ball back up to me It's almost in reach.

138

There.

139

A frog!

140

No!

141

Oh!

142

Oh, my, I can't believe it!

143

My beautiful paw to that dead frog I touched with my very own hands!

144

Did I hear you say dead frog?

145

I'm very much alive, I think.

146

He's speaking.

147

Oh, no, I'm dreaming.

148

He's dreadful.

149

Excuse me.

150

You are the one who's dreadful for hitting me with that ball of yours you should apologize immediately.

151

Oh, dear me.

152

What's that?

153

There is no what's that about it.

154

First you hit me with your ball, I almost drowned.

155

Then you have the nerve to call me dreadful.

156

You assault with your words, fair lady, after grabbing me and throwing me.

157

I beg to differ.

158

I believe you were just pretending to be dead to trick me.

159

Hmm?

160

You probably wanted to appear as my golden ball, so you came floating to the surface, belly up.

161

You tricked me into grabbing you.

162

That's absurd.

163

You're dead to scare me.

164

Princess, pardon me for saying this, but could you stop your blabbering and listen to me?

165

You've got it all wrong.

166

Your little ball rolled down the incline and hit me.

167

It knocked me into the pond, and it did me great harm.

168

I came up to the surface of the pond like that because I was knocked unconscious.

169

That ball is heavy, you know.

170

So I think that rather than saying how dreadful I am, you should apologize immediately.

171

Go ahead.

172

I should apologize?

173

Yes, immediately.

174

But how come?

175

If not sooner, to me.

176

Why should I, a beautiful princess, have to apologize to a warty frog?

177

It's absurd.

178

I won't do it.

179

But I'm not really a frog.

180

I'm not.

181

I'm not.

182

Don't raise your voice to me like that.

183

I'll tell my father about this.

184

Why, you spoiled little brat.

185

Go ahead.

186

Oh, go ahead home and tell your father about me.

187

Go on.

188

Well, maybe I'll just do that and have the guards come and arrest you as well, you loud mouth.

189

talking frog must belong to some witch

190

if only the princess knew how close she'd come to the truth with

191

that remark in any event our poor frog prince's hopes of

192

making friends with being brought back to the castle by

193

and being kissed by the lovely leonora went up in smoke with

194

that first dismal meeting the prince couldn't understand how one

195

so fair could have such horrid manners he still wasn't quite used to being treated like a frog sir ah henry

196

it's all over now well it looks like we really picked

197

the wrong princess henry ah well i might as well find a nice lady frog get married

198

and settle down here at the pond raise tadpoles

199

because i'm not going to find anyone who's going to break this spell for me it looks like don't give up, sir.

200

Please, Henry.

201

Shh.

202

The princess has returned.

203

She's standing right over there behind you.

204

Perhaps you two didn't hit it off as badly as you think you did.

205

It's obvious she'd like to talk to you.

206

I mean, do you see how she's looking around?

207

That young girl said the most dreadful things to me not two minutes ago.

208

You'll pardon me for saying so, sir, but your manner was not at its princely best either.

209

That girl threw me in the pond, Henry, after almost killing me with that little ball of hers.

210

Never mind that, sir.

211

She's coming.

212

Just make sure you don't start any ill -mannered quarreling with her.

213

You've got to remember, you're a charming nobleman.

214

Yeah, and a frog's body.

215

He was none too pleased.

216

But since his life depended upon it, the frog prince went off for another try at friendship with the princess.

217

What he and Henry didn't realize was that Leonora had returned to the pond not to look for the frog, but to somehow find a way to recover her precious ball of gold.

218

I must find it.

219

Hmm?

220

Really, I've never seen such nerve in my entire life, you horrible creature!

221

Ha!

222

You're the one who's awful, and you've got a lot of nerve for snooping around a man of a frog's home that way.

223

This pond is mine, you warty frog.

224

It belongs to my father's kingdom.

225

There you have it.

226

I'm a warty frog, and I belong in a pond, naturally.

227

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.

228

All right, in the name of my father the king, I give you my permission to make your home here.

229

How gracious of you, fair lady.

230

Your kindness is...

231

Stop, wait.

232

For my gracious kindness, you must do something in return for me.

233

What?

234

You have to retrieve my golden ball, which is now sitting on the bottom of the pond.

235

What's that?

236

You expect me to go down there and get your...

237

All right.

238

The ball is made of the purest gold, and it's the most precious thing to me in the whole wide world.

239

If you don't get it back from me at once, I'll spread a rumor throughout the whole kingdom that you're a thieving scoundrel.

240

Don't do that.

241

You're quite cunning, aren't you, fair princess?

242

All I want is my ball back.

243

Well, all right.

244

To keep your grace from calling me a thief, I'll get it for you.

245

Get it right now, because I have to be home for a banquet.

246

Uh, you want me to go right now, do you? Of course.

247

No better time than now.

248

Hmm.

249

Pawn's awfully deep, you know.

250

Oh, dear, yes.

251

And that little ball of yours is rather heavy, you know.

252

Now, listen.

253

Besides letting you live here, I'll grant you one more favor, Frog.

254

Just go and bring my ball up to me.

255

Oh, you will, huh?

256

Well, what sort of favor?

257

You can have my necklace.

258

In fact, take the earrings, too.

259

They're a set.

260

I really don't need jewelry, Princess.

261

Don't you like it?

262

No, the favor I'd like is your friendship.

263

Hmm.

264

What do you mean?

265

Simply a friendship.

266

Were you and I to become good friends, that would really be quite enough.

267

And that's all that you would want to get my ball?

268

Mm -hmm.

269

I have your solemn promise that if I become your friend, you'll go and get my golden ball?

270

Mm -hmm.

271

Mm -hmm.

272

Yes.

273

Why not?

274

I'll become friends with you.

275

Now, you wouldn't lie to me, would you, Princess?

276

I swear, my father's kingdom.

277

I truly believe you, then.

278

Well, I'll dive down and get that ball back now, and I won't say nasty things to you.

279

Oh, yes.

280

I'm very sorry about that.

281

I was really irritated with you.

282

Sorry.

283

I treated you pretty badly, didn't I?

284

Throwing you like I did and all.

285

It was rude of me to call you a warty old frog and loudmouth as well.

286

I, too, am sorry.

287

I accept your apology, Princess.

288

And I'll go and get your ball.

289

Uh, excuse me, Princess.

290

Huh?

291

I forgot to ask if you'd grant me one more little favor.

292

What is it?

293

Would you invite me to your castle tonight?

294

Of course, seeing as we are now friends, most certainly.

295

You won't treat me like a common frog, will you?

296

Oh, no. You'll sit at the banquet table and be treated like royalty.

297

And at the banquet table, may I be allowed to sit next to you?

298

Why, yes, most certainly.

299

Now you should hurry because we don't want to be late in arriving at the castle.

300

Father gets angry when I return after dark.

301

Of course, I'm on my way.

302

Just one more favor

303

I'm truly delighted that you've invited me to the castle

304

And I'm sure I will be staying very late I'll have

305

difficulty finding my way home You shall stay the night then

306

For we have plenty of rooms for overnight visitors I would

307

prefer to sleep in your room actually I really would sleep so much better Oh, all right then May I sleep at the bottom of your bed?

308

We could chat a while before going to sleep Oh, why not?

309

That way we would get to know each other a little better I'm so looking forward to that.

310

I am, too.

311

Now, you'd better hurry, for we have a long walk back to the castle, and if we get there too late, the gates will be locked and we'll miss the banquet.

312

Right away, my dear.

313

Oh, finally.

314

Down went the Frog Prince to the bottom of the pod, joyful that he had achieved his goal.

315

For once he was in Princess Leonora's chambers, he could talk her into kissing him and breaking the witch's evil spell.

316

He found the ball easily, of course, for he knew exactly where it was.

317

It was made of pure gold and was very heavy, but retrieving it would be worth the effort.

318

The prince's motto had always been, anything not accomplished on the first try was not worth trying to begin with.

319

But in this case, he wisely made an exception to the rule.

320

Up swam the frog prince Since he hadn't been used to being a frog all

321

that long Swimming while carrying the heavy ball was quite a strain

322

But he was in luck He reached some underwater reeds

323

and began pulling himself upward The frog prince had almost gotten to the top

324

When all of a sudden The ball had slipped from his tired legs

325

and he decided he had better use his head instead.

326

Come on, Frog, hurry.

327

Oh, dear.

328

The trumpets had sounded their familiar call.

329

The princess knew that when the sun was fully set in the west, the castle gates would be locked.

330

The princess so wished he would hurry.

331

Ah, there he is.

332

I see him.

333

He will get to the surface in no time.

334

The frog prince climbed up the reed slowly but surely.

335

He knew it was close to sunset, but he also knew that the castle was a short distance away, just down the hill.

336

The princess had only told him it was a wrong walk to get him to hurry.

337

Your ball.

338

Oh, thank goodness.

339

I will never lose you again, my precious ball.

340

I will always be careful when I play with you.

341

I thank you for your brave effort, Mr. Frog.

342

Thanks.

343

It was nothing.

344

I'm exhausted.

345

That task was more difficult than I thought.

346

Princess, might I ask you to carry me to the castle?

347

Huh?

348

She's leaving?

349

Wait, don't go!

350

Wait!

351

Princess, I'm much too tired to make it all the way to the castle.

352

Please come back and carry me.

353

I don't believe it.

354

She had to have heard that.

355

She had to have heard me calling her.

356

yes the princess had heard the frog prince's call for help

357

but she paid no attention to it for she had been lying all along she just wanted her ball back

358

and the thought of making friends with a warty old frog

359

and bringing him back to the castle banquet was absurd to her That evening, while Henry slept peacefully under a tree...

360

The frog prince, having rested and regained his strength, made his way with new vigor toward the castle.

361

After all, he had kept his promise and retrieved the princess' golden ball.

362

Now she had to keep her promise.

363

Besides, he was hungry after all that swimming

364

and longed to dine at the banquet table with the royal

365

family he had to get into the castle find the princess

366

and somehow get her to break the spell and turn him back into a prince

367

while all of the royal servants and cooks busily prepared for the king's banquet the frog prince hurried purposely toward the castle

368

i'm nearly there

369

if he was ever to become a real prince once again

370

he knew he must find the young princess for even though

371

she had tricked him she was the only one who could break the evil spell

372

but the frog prince was soon to find he was not a welcome guest Who goes there?

373

I seldom see creatures like you inside the castle.

374

Why are you here?

375

I have come through the dark forest in response to a personal invitation of the royal princess.

376

Am I headed in the right direction, kind sir?

377

First of all, it's highly unlikely that you would be invited to the castle.

378

I happen to know that each of the three princesses who lives here detest frogs, and I don't happen to like liars.

379

Now, what are you doing here?

380

Please believe me, sir.

381

My word is truly my bond.

382

I do not lie.

383

Whoa!

384

I, I, I, but what have I done wrong?

385

I don't understand.

386

You don't belong here.

387

This is a misunderstanding.

388

If you'll put me down, I'll tell you the whole story.

389

It's most unusual for me to be treated in such a rude and brutal manner.

390

Have you no shame?

391

It's obvious you never trusted anyone.

392

You have another thing coming if you think you can hide from me.

393

Now hold still.

394

I can't catch you if you don't hold still.

395

Let go!

396

Let go!

397

Unhand me this instant!

398

Is that food I smell?

399

I know I'll find Princess Leonora at the banquet.

400

Yes?

401

Excuse me, your majesty.

402

The evening meal awaits.

403

Thank you.

404

And a wonderfully elaborate meal it was.

405

The honored guests were offered the finest provisions to be found in all the royal kingdom.

406

No wine was too costly, no recipe too complicated, no detail was too small.

407

This evening's banquet in the castle was truly fit for a king. being the youngest

408

and most lovely of the three royal princesses leonora was always

409

given a special degree of attention meanwhile having left the sentry

410

dog far behind the frog prince continued his search through the

411

castle what would normally have been a leisurely stroll for a prince turned into a most tedious

412

and difficult undertaking for a mere pond frog But he was determined to discover Leonora's whereabouts.

413

And after all, the princess herself had asked him to come.

414

Oh!

415

I wonder what that sound could be.

416

Let's see.

417

A jumping frog makes noises like that.

418

I hope it isn't the frog from the pond.

419

No, of course not.

420

That frog could not possibly have come all the way up here.

421

It's you.

422

Oh, princess, I knew if I tried hard enough, I would find you.

423

Please let me in.

424

I'm so tired and hungry.

425

Hmm?

426

I simply do not believe this.

427

Daughter.

428

Oh.

429

There is obviously something terrible on the other side of the door that has frightened you.

430

A horrible black bear, perhaps?

431

No, it is not a bear.

432

So tell me then, Princess, why the startled expression?

433

It is a frog.

434

A frog?

435

Yes, he's from a nearby pond.

436

He wants to come in and share our meal with us.

437

It is the truth.

438

Princess, please open the door.

439

Surely you can recognize it's me and haven't forgotten your promise.

440

Please let me in.

441

I see our sister is not beyond playing a little trick on all of us.

442

No, Agatha, I'm telling the truth.

443

Leonora, I believe you.

444

Now tell us all just what is going on.

445

I met a frog at the pond today

446

and invited him to come back to the castle with me and join us for supper.

447

Did you hear that, everyone?

448

It sounds as if my daughter has found herself a new friend and without even so much as asking the king's permission.

449

And this friend has the voice of a boy.

450

So Leonora has a boyfriend.

451

I do not.

452

And I happen to think that frog is disgusting.

453

None of this makes any sense at all.

454

So why don't you explain it to us?

455

Well, it was just around lunchtime earlier today, and I was walking by myself in the forest

456

when by accident I dropped my precious golden ball into the midst of an extremely deep pond.

457

Then the frog appeared, agreeing to fetch my ball if I would invite him here.

458

So you can see what I...

459

Princess Leonora, I am the frog who lives in the pond.

460

Don't you remember?

461

I helped you today, so please honor your promise to me and open up this door.

462

As you can see, Father, I had no choice.

463

But I did not seriously entertain the thought that the frog would come all the way up here.

464

That is the reason I have made such a thoughtless promise to him.

465

So he shall enter.

466

No, surely you cannot be serious, Father.

467

Please, no. I will not leave your new friend to stand outside hungry and cold.

468

You must honor your vow.

469

He shall enter.

470

Yes, do let him in, sister father is curious as to the true identity of this mysterious friend of yours

471

and so are we and if a frog enters your father will be most relieved oh thank you princess

472

greetings your majesty allow me to introduce myself I am the frog who lives in the forest pond, miles beyond the castle.

473

Greetings to you.

474

So pleased to make your acquaintance.

475

I'd like to welcome you to my home.

476

That is most kind indeed, Your Majesty.

477

I thank you and am at your service.

478

Good, sir.

479

You were ever so kind to have assisted my young daughter in her hour of need.

480

I will stay forever grateful.

481

Thank you.

482

It was an honor, sir, and I truly consider myself fortunate just to have made the acquaintance of a princess so charming and lovely as your daughter.

483

I must offer an apology for keeping you waiting outside so long.

484

Our young guest is staying for supper.

485

Let us go ahead and set a plate.

486

And be quick about it.

487

Again, I am most grateful, Your Majesty, for I am quite famished.

488

And unless you have an objection, I request permission to be seated next to the princess.

489

Only royalty may sit at that table.

490

But you didn't know that, did you?

491

Excuse me, Your Majesty.

492

While I wish to sound neither bold nor disrespectful, that was the promise the princess had made today.

493

Well, there is nothing in this kingdom that is worth more than the word of royalty.

494

Make ready the chair next to Princess Leonora.

495

Father, I would rather die first.

496

There are any other number of seats in the banquet hall that I know you would like equally well.

497

Yes, but on the other hand, nothing would please me nearly as much as to gaze into your lovely eyes while I eat my meal.

498

What do you say?

499

Please?

500

Absolutely not.

501

But you promised me.

502

Doesn't that mean anything?

503

Darling, that rug is starting to make a nuisance of himself.

504

I want you to put an end to this nonsense immediately.

505

Absolutely not.

506

Under the circumstances, the frog is within his rights.

507

What was that?

508

The royal honor happens to be at risk here.

509

Simply put, in return for a favor, our youngest daughter made a commitment to that pond frog.

510

I merely want her to uphold the promise that she made.

511

And so it was decided that the frog prince would be given his very own chair right next to the princess Leonora.

512

all the food looks just as wonderful as it smells i am quite hungry and this is a marvelous feast

513

there is no need for you to be shy my boy there is plenty more where

514

that came from

515

so please take anything you would like you were too kind

516

your majesty i think i would like to begin with the tasty soup

517

that the princess is having in

518

that case why not take some from my daughter's bowl right in front of you by

519

that do you mean I should eat from the very same bowls the princess of course unless

520

that displays you certainly not on the contrary I would consider

521

it a privilege to eat from the royal soup bowl that's the spirit

522

so go ahead what are you waiting for I won't be satisfied until your stomach is full, and I know my daughter feels the same way.

523

Leonora, your friend has been most patient.

524

Yes, by all means, please be my guest.

525

Thank you, Princess.

526

It certainly looks very good.

527

Actually, I truly am most exceedingly hungry.

528

It's spicy, just like I like it.

529

Mmm.

530

Excellent.

531

Princess, would you be interested in knowing that I ran all the way to the castle?

532

Well, to be exact, I jumped all the way, and that's why I'm so terribly hungry.

533

Princess, I hope nothing is wrong, but instead of eating, it seems that you're just sitting there staring at me.

534

I have already had enough.

535

I could not eat another thing.

536

Oh, I get it.

537

Now you were telling a joke.

538

And I must be blocking your way.

539

If I move aside, you will be better able to taste it.

540

Go ahead, Princess.

541

Grab a spoon.

542

I do believe you will like it, and the cook should be heartily congratulated.

543

Yum.

544

Now, I can't quite make up my mind.

545

What should we do next, Princess?

546

Either we order another course, sounds tempting, or we have more soup.

547

But I do not wish to be greedy.

548

Whatever you decide is going to make me happy.

549

What has happened, my friend?

550

Has my daughter offended you?

551

Not at all, sir.

552

Nothing to be concerned about, Your Majesty.

553

Sorry for the interruption.

554

We just had a bit of an accident while discussing the beef stock.

555

My dear, I believe I have never seen our daughter look so miserable before.

556

Surely by now she's learned her lesson.

557

A promise is a promise.

558

The princess had selfishly made an agreement that she did not intend to honor.

559

I cannot accept that.

560

Yum, yum.

561

I do not want to make a pig of myself, but...

562

Yum.

563

Tasty.

564

this is the best yet yes princess you truly should taste this

565

so there you are time to go Get that log,

566

you know what you're doing!

567

Oh, no!

568

Saddle down!

569

I do hope you were not seriously hurt.

570

No, thank you.

571

I apologize for that dog's rude behavior and assure you it will not happen again.

572

Please think nothing of it, sir.

573

He was merely protecting the castle.

574

But now I am quite tired and would like a chance to rest.

575

Yes, the hour is late and the evening has been filled with excitement.

576

Perhaps you would like to stay at the castle tonight?

577

That would be nice.

578

Thank you.

579

I do prefer sleeping in a warm bed rather than a damp pond.

580

Mm -hmm.

581

Princess Leonora will be glad to see you to your comfort.

582

I am in your debt again.

583

And might I also request that I rest my head in the prince's chambers?

584

That is a fine idea.

585

The dog will not bother you in there.

586

Princess Leonora, show the frog to your chambers.

587

Father, no!

588

Why my room?

589

It is you who owes this frog a debt of gratitude, young lady.

590

And just who invited him here to the castle in the first place?

591

Absolutely not, Father.

592

I will not have it.

593

You are asking too much of me.

594

Listen, have you forgotten that this frog has done you a favor?

595

It is absurd that you now find him distasteful.

596

I did not raise you to become ungrateful and to use people in a selfish manner.

597

You will do as I say now and show our guest to your room.

598

Princess, Princess, please stop crying.

599

Have I done something wrong?

600

You are starting to make me feel unwelcome.

601

I have never been so humiliated in all of my life.

602

I'm sorry I met you.

603

Go away.

604

To travel such a long way is unwise.

605

Besides, you surely would not wish to further disappoint your father.

606

Now, would you?

607

Why must you be ill -tempered and annoying?

608

Not only are you offensive to look at, but your lack of manners and irritating personality are impossible.

609

I'm beginning to get the impression that you do not like me very much.

610

I did not like you from the beginning, and now that I know you, I really, really do completely detest you.

611

Oh, my.

612

I am sorry, but I had to say that.

613

So it is possible that you would rather die than be forced by your father to spend time with me?

614

Precisely.

615

Princess, is it safe to say that you find me so absolutely repulsive that you could not hate me anymore?

616

That's it, exactly.

617

So all that remains is for you to grow to like me, then.

618

But what are you saying?

619

Very simply, if you cannot hate me any more than you do right at this moment, then your only choice is to learn to like me.

620

Oh, my nose!

621

You are giving me a headache!

622

Somebody help me!

623

Leonora, it seems to me that I am making a lot of sense here.

624

Only a few hours have passed the show and we met, Leonora.

625

I know very little about you, and likewise, you know even less about me.

626

I do not wish to know any more about you.

627

It is much too late to turn back now.

628

Have you forgotten the promise we made today to help each other and be friends, Leonora?

629

Yes, trust me, princess, and I bet you will change your mind.

630

Leave me alone.

631

I simply have nothing at all in common with a mere pond frog.

632

You persist in making my life miserable.

633

Well, I will admit that I am an acquired taste.

634

Kiss me.

635

Absolutely not!

636

What?

637

My first kiss will be with a prince!

638

You can't go!

639

Mr. Frog!

640

What have I done?

641

Are you all right?

642

He's not even moving. Could it be?

643

I killed him.

644

I got mad.

645

Then I lost my temper and did the most terrible thing I've ever done.

646

He only wanted to be my friend.

647

I'm so sorry.

648

No longer will I be able to gaze upon my own reflection in the mirror without sadness, and my father will surely banish me.

649

I do not know you.

650

Yes, we know each other better than you think, because until recently, I was that frog who you thought you had just killed.

651

And it is thanks to you I am able to be a human once again.

652

What?

653

But I thought I had killed you.

654

Whatever did I do to you, good sir?

655

You have broken a witch's spell without even knowing it.

656

I shall be forever grateful to you, Leonora.

657

I am so shocked.

658

I treated you so badly.

659

I am completely surprised you would talk to me, and you should know that I do not always act like that kind, sir.

660

Yes, princess.

661

No one appreciates that more than I, because, you see, it was the true goodness in your heart that has awakened me from the old witch's evil spell.

662

All of my life, I have dreamed of riding away with a lovely princess of lasting virtue.

663

My search is over.

664

I have found her this day.

665

Princess, please come with me and be my bride.

666

And soon thereafter, the prince, who was a frog, asked for Princess Leonora's hand in marriage.

667

King Bartholomew gladly gave them the royal blessing and bid them a tearful farewell. And the kiss?

668

Well, you see, the princess, tear of sympathy, was power enough to break the magic spell.

669

The kiss came later, and they lived happily ever after.

670

Thank you.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
