In this episode we have a combination of classic fairytales with a little American flavor. The two classic fairytales are 'The Frog Prince' and 'Beauty and the Beast'. This folktale is rather short and simple, but it's entertaining nonetheless. I read the story through one time. Then I go back and breakdown each sentence and any new vocabulary. Finally, I read the story one more time and hopefully you understand more the second time through. If you like the episode, please share it with a friend!
