Along the way, you’ll learn to be as resourceful as Hansel and Gretel, to be as kind as Cinderella, or, like the frog king, to never, ever lose hope. Join us, and listen in, as we enjoy some of the most wonderful tales ever told and learn what they have to teach us today.In today’s episode, we’ll be reading the tale of The Frog King, or, as it is sometimes called, Iron Henry. You’ll learn why this story has two very different names later on.The tale of the Frog King has much to teach us. In this tale, we read about a princess who makes a promise that she isn’t sure she really wants to keep. It’s a story about faithfulness and keeping promises. It’s a story about hope, how we can never give up on things that are very important, and about being a good friend to the people we love and care about.
