This tale is less complex than

many in the collection, and
readers may feel that the
princess is over-rewarded.
She completely neglects her
part of the bargain and is
rude to the frog besides. On
the other hand, it's a nice
touch that her father is so
resolute about making her
keep the promise she has
made to the frog.
