After the princess kissed the frog and turned him into a prince, they did not live happily ever after. The princess was sick of his frog-like tendencies and was upset that he didn't act more like a prince and go slay something. The prince realized like would be better if he was still a frog, so he went in search of a witch who could turn him back. The first witch he ran into was the witch from Sleeping Beauty, and she thought he was going to wake Sleeping Beauty. She was going to cast a spell on him so he ran. Then he ran into the witch from Snow White, and she thought he was going to save her. She offered him a poison apple, and her ran off. Next he ran into the witch from Hansel and Gretel, and she had offered to help him. He recognized who she was, though, and ran off again. Soon he found himself to be lost and ran into Cinderella's Fairy Godmother. She tried to turn him back into a frog but accidentally turned him into a carriage. He felt horrible and rather be at home with the princess. At the stroke of midnight, he turned back into a prince. The princess missed him so much and they kissed. They both turned into frogs and lived happily ever after.
