Time for a story

My pupil and I often have a laugh during our conversations in English together. Today we were talking about the princess and the frog – or toad. In the version I grew up with the princess kisses the ugly frog – or toad and he turns into a handsome prince. In the French version the princess takes the frog – or toad to bed with her and in the morning wakes up with a handsome prince in her bed* –much to the disgust of her parents.

Which version do you prefer?

*She should be so lucky
