This story is called The Frog Prince by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. This is a LibraryCall adaptation and recording. One fine morning, a young princess named Luisa put on her coat and shoes and went outside to play in the woods. After walking for a while, she came to a cool pond and decided to sit down for a rest. She had brought her favorite golden ball with her, and as she sat, she mindlessly tossed it up into the air and caught it again. Eventually, she threw the ball so high that it bounced off the branch of a tree and went crashing down into the water.
