Grimms Fairy Tales for a change

there lived a King whose daughters were all beautiful, but the youngest was so beautiful that the sun itself, which has seen so much, was astonished whenever it shone in her face.

castle -> forest -> old lime-tree -> fountain.

[this is great fodder for the game! The game has lots of trees just looking for a story!]

Princess lost her golden ball in the fountain

Cried

A frog asked her what was wrong. Said he could help, if she promised to be his friend, let him eat at her table, sleep in her bed, etc.

“Oh, yes,” said she, “I promise you all you wish, if you will but bring my ball back again.”

He found the ball She ran away, happy.

Next day he knocked at the door. She slammed it and ran away.

The king said she must keep her promise.

She let him eat from her plate, but she almost choked - was so disgusted

The frog now said he would sleep in her bed. She began to cry.

The king made her keep her promise.

When in her bedroom "Then she was terribly angry, and took him up and threw him with all her might against the wall."

“Now, you will be quiet, odious Frog,” said she.

But when he fell down, he was no Frog but a King’s Son with beautiful kind eyes!

They stayed the night together (does not say how).

Next day his coach and horses arrived. With the  young King’s servant, Faithful Henry. Faithful Henry had been so unhappy when his master was changed into a Frog, that he had three iron bands laid round his heart, lest it should burst with grief and sadness. As the two lovers rode away on the carriage they heard the cracking sound of the three bands breaking because he was now so happy.
