A fairytale about a frog

Siden I nu skal undvære mig helt til på næste fredag, tænkte jeg, at I kunne underholde jer selv med mit engelsk eventyr. Der er lidt småfejl rundt omkring, men jeg er for træt til at rette dem.. :) Jeg vil også lige gøre opmærksom på, at jeg skulle holde mig indenfor 900 ord. Derfor er slutningen lidt sammenkogt xD

"The frog that could not swim
Long ago in a time called the middle age in a little village near, near by, a mother frog lived a calm and peaceful life with her seven children. She had four of the prettiest daughters a frog could ever wish for and three sons. One of them brave enough to defied a dragon by himself, the other one strong enough to lift the dragon using only one arm.
 And then there was Bob - a hopeless example. When he was born one of his legs was crooked, which made it hard for to swim. His siblings teased him all the time, laughing “Bob the frog - the frog that cannot swim,” while playing in the sea.
One day everybody in the village was told that the king at the castle far, far away had become very ill. The only way to save his life was to make the old bell in front of the castle ring - a bell which had never made a sound before. The king did now ask for any man brave and strong enough to cross the big, big sea and make the bell ring, promising that whoever could do that would marry his beautiful, young daughter.
Of course Bob’s brothers were tempted right away, thinking that they might then marry the princess. Their mother, who liked this idea, gave them both a sword in case they would mead the evil sea monster on their way. 
When Bob told his mother that he wanted to go as well, she became worried and said: “Oh, dear son of mine, there’s no other sword I can find.” But Bob did just ask for an ache instead. His mother, who did know feel sorry for her youngest son, gave him a blanket a well, hoping that he would not then feel cold at night.
As Bob’s brothers started to cross the big, big sea, Bob did simple walk into the forest to cut down some trees.  Then when the darkness fell Bob pulled his blanket out and went to bed under the night sky covered with millions of stars, wondering of his brothers had time to see this beautiful sight that he now saw.
The next day Bob used all of the wood to build a boat. It took a long time and he did first finish building it right before sunset, but what a sunset it was. Again he was wondering if his brothers saw this as well.  The third day at dawn Bob put the boat in water and started rowing. He row and row but the big, big sea seemed to continue forever. Suddenly small waves started to form in the water and not long after, an old, horrifying voice was heard, saying: “If you want to cross the big, big sea you most first show me how smart you can be.”
Bob was terribly scared and sank to the bottom of his boat, but the horrifying voice continued: “They try to beat me, they try in vain. And when I win, I end the pain. What am I?”
Terrified and convinced that what he was about to say would be the last word he ever spoke, Bob cried: “Death.” But the voice just answered: “Correct” and continued with another riddle. “As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives, seven wives with seven sacks, seven sacks with seven cats, seven cats with seven kits - kits, cats, sacks and wives. How many were going to St. Ives?” 
“One,” Bob cried, listening carefully to everything the horrifying voice said. “Correct,” the voice answered. “Now, what cannot be bought cannot be sold, even if it's made of gold?”
Before Bob had time to open his mouth, a big orange sea monster showed its face - the evil sea monster that everybody was so terribly scared of. Bob was now about to piss his pants, but he did not wear any, so instead he cried out loud: “A heart, please have a heart.” 
The sea monster smiled, saying: “A heart, correct,” and dragged Bob and the boat all the way to the land far, far away. As they arrived, Bob asked the sea monster: “Is there anything I can do for you? I would love to make you happy too.”
The sea monster did admittedly look at Bob’s little blanket, which Bob then gave him, hoping that he would then not frees at night. The monster smiled and swam away.  
All the way up toward the castle Bob was in an easy mood and sang with a peaceful voice.
Inside of the castle one of the housemaids ran all the way up the stairs to the princess’ room, flew inside and out of her breath said: “It was a frog, dear princess, he sang, he sang. And the bell, I tell you, the bell it rang!”
All the sudden the king began to feel well and told everyone that Bob had cured his illness. Bob did then marry the beautiful princess. 
At their honeymoon Bob looked the princess in the eyes, knowing that his brothers would never see anything as beautiful. 
Bob and the princess decided to start their own life on the other side of the big, big sea. So they sailed away and lived a happily ever after. 
- The End"
