“The little Frog travelled day and night over hill and dale, and at last arrived in the vicinity of the capital city, where the King held his court; she was surprised at seeing everywhere nothing but dancing and feasting. People laughed and sang, and the nearer she approached the city, the greater appeared the joy and the merrymaking. Her marshy equipage surprised everybody—every one followed her, and the crowd became so great when she entered the city, that she had much difficulty in reaching the palace.”
“Grenouillette chemina par monts et par vaux, de jour et de nuit ; enfin elle arriva proche de la ville capitale où le roi faisait son séjour ; elle demeura surprise de ne voir partout que des danses et des festins ; on riait, on chantait ; et plus elle approchait de la ville, et plus elle trouvait de joie et de jubilation. Son équipage marécageux surprenait tout le monde : chacun la suivait ; et la foule devint si grande lorsqu'elle entra dans la ville, qu'elle eut beaucoup de peine à parvenir jusqu'au palais”
