One night Queen Meng Chiang -nu saw the frog shed his skin and become a handsome young man. In the morning he once again became a frog. She told what she saw to the King.

The King called the frog and told Meng Chiang-nu to question the frog. The frog was very cunning and wicked he told Meng Chiang-nu that his skin coat was very expensive and kept him young. As long as he will wear the frogskin he will never grow old Meng Chiang-nu told the old King what the frog had said.

That night the old King hid behind a tree in the garden and saw the frog shed his skin and become a handsome young man.

The old King quickly jumped up and picked up the frogskin and wore it.

Alas the King became a frog. He had been tricked.
