    One fine evening, a young princess went out to her 

favorite pond to relax. She started playing with her 

favorite silver ball that had quite a large mass. 

    While she was tossing her ball up and down, she 

spotted a little, brown wheelbarrow. Upon further 

inspection, she realized that its handle was a lever! 

When she looked at its wheels, she also found out that 

they were a form of a simple machine: a wheel and 

axle!

     Later that day, after taking a break from playing 

with her ball, she wanted to play with it again, but she 

couldn't. She was too surprised to do so when she saw a 

boat come across the tiny pond and then soon 

disappear. Before it left, she noticed that the sail that 

was used to pull up the fabric was made out of a pulley 

system! Thankfully, the very forceful wind didn't knock 

it over.

      While the princess was tossing her ball through the 

air, gravity pulled it down all the way into the pond. 

She tried looking for it, but it was too far down. She 

started crying at a rapid speed because her favorite ball 

was gone.

      Since the princess was crying, a little, green frog 

popped out of the pond with an umbrella to guard 

himself from all her tears. She noticed that the canopy 

(top) of the umbrella was made out of a series of 

inclined planes that helped water glide off it easily. 

When the frog got out, his feet were so wet that he 

glided forward due to the lack of friction caused by the 

water.

     The frog politely asked the princess what was wrong 

and the princess sadly replied that she had dropped her 

beloved silver ball in the pond and couldn't get it out. 

The frog told her that he would get it for her and she 

rejoiced at the mere thought. All he asked for was a 

screw so he could fix his underwater house that was 

torn down by waves with high acceleration.

A minute later, the frog was back with the ball and was 

waiting for his screw. The princess was so happy with 

him that she gave him a screw AND a nail, which was a 

wedge. They were both pleased with their deal, but 

before the went their separate ways, the frog looked at 

her and told her that he loved her. 

     The princess realized that she loved him too, so she 

kissed him. There was almost no distance between 

them, which she found nice and comforting. Soon after 

their kiss, something magical happened. The frog turned 

into a prince! She was so happy, and she knew their 

future would be wonderful.
