Once upon a time, there was a frog prince who had many brothers and sisters.

Like him, they were all born under a powerful curse, which had been broken by a Mighty King.

The truth was that they were all from the royal bloodline, heir to the Throne and the Kingdom.

The King told them that their transformation would come as they renewed their minds with the Truth, for they still perceived themselves to be frogs.

As others embraced stories of the great day when they would all be taken away and changed, the frog prince chose to sit upon the book of Truth. As he fed on it daily, his thoughts about himself, his circumstances and the world around him changed.

The spirit of the book gave him revelation of who he was and the power and authority he already possessed. Its truths carried him through the good times and the bad. Soon, the metamorphosis began.

The words he had meditated on, manifested in his body. His ugly warts, which had reminded him of all his pain and sorrow, became as precious stones.

Upon his head arose a golden crown and he was caught up into a new realm of existence.

Along the shore in the distance could be seen those still waiting for their stories to unfold.
