A beautiful lady wearing an exquisite costume and sparkling jewelry sways gracefully, while a man wearing a frog mask dances as if he is a frog. What is the message here? Will the lady kiss the frog and transform him into a handsome prince?Well, the frog indeed turns into a handsome prince, but the story is not about a curse. It is about the love of a mother, the love between man and woman, and most of all it is about reincarnation.
Reincarnation has a very close relationship with karma. How and in what form you are reborn to the world depends on your karma, as a result of your actions and attitude in your previous life.
So the Frog Dance is a fairytale about a couple who have no children.
"... One day, the wife goes to the forest to collect some firewood. After walking for several hours she feels thirsty, and takes a coconut shell to fill it with water to drink. Returning to the village she encounters a big frog on the way and she suddenly falls pregnant.
A few days later she gives birth, not to a baby but to a frog. She and her husband take really good care of the frog and shower him with love as if he is a human. Growing into an adult the frog meets the princess of Daha on the road. He is blown away by her beauty and warm heart. Yes… he falls in love with the princess and wants to marry her.
The king is infuriated when the frog's parents come to ask for his daughter's hand in marriage for their son. Angered, the King comes up with a mean proposition. He orders his chief minister to execute the frog's mother, promising that if she manages to survive he will give his consent for his daughter to marry the frog.
Miraculously the mother survives and the frog then marries the princess. However, the frog is still ashamed of his appearance so he goes to Mount Mahameru to pray. His deep prayers and strong faith bring the desired result; God grants him a human form. During his meditation, he gets a vision that he was the prince of Jenggala Kingdom in a previous life that reincarnated as a frog in order to pay for his wrongdoings... "
