Hello, Ricky, :)
Can I say that the quotes really get distracting at times. Or maybe this is a story where two people are talking? Like a dialogue?
This is a neat little story. :)

Smile Ricky I wonder who tuned the handsome young man into a frog? I like your version the the old fairy tale about the frog turned into a man
I wonder how many frogs did Beth had to kiss before her fairy tale was fulfilled?

An old saying comes you mind, "One has to kiss thousands of frogs to find their prince. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for an easy read.
Errors
You have several errors in your use of quotation marks.

Awwwwwwwww, Rick! This was so sweet I am going to have to go on a diet after reading it. *grin* Now I know you know there are a few problems with punctuation (too many question marks) but the story was fun to read anyway, and it had a good moral (which is always my favorite thing, especially when it's written for children). You DO know you wrote a story-in-a-poem, yes? You rhymed well in places. I enjoyed it very much.

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lovely story, Dr. Ricky.
A fairy tale setting in a beautiful place of mystery and wondrous sights by a crystal clear lake.
Like any ugly frog or monster, Benjamin was reborn as his old, handsome self when Beth saw through his outward appearance to the beauty imprisoned within himself, and his heart.
Well done, sir!
Happy New Year.
~Dean

Good morning, Ricky: This is a really nice ending. It is a kind of Beauty and the beast story and you have your own style of telling the tale. The kiss from the princess that turned the beast back into the handsome prince and they lived happily ever after. This story is nicely done, Ricky. I did see one misspelled word but I lost in my reading. Anyway, other than that good job!

A novel? This is awesome, Dr.Ricky. "And, he thought...
"I never used to look like this?"
Stated the Monster.
"I was a handsome, and young, man."
"Until a Nasty Witch put a Nasty Spell and Curse upon me?"
"And why?"
"Why did she change me into this Hideous Monster I see in the reflection?"
...
I like it. Sensational. I something different from the norm.
BOO~

Who does not like a fairy tale with a happy ending ? Love the story. Having the setting on a lake was a great idea to ponder and wonder sifting through their dreams and becoming friends. Very simple, yet entertaining to read.

I did see a couple of words you might want to change. Just saying you might want to change them. Sherman541

{"And, while she was there, she would on the ld log and dream of many...}
(I think maybe you meant to say she would get on and I am not sure what Id is.)

{"On thay Spring day in May, the Monster visited the lake and say on the old log to pray...}
(I think you mean on that Spring day and sat not say on the old log)

    Thanks Sherman I added 40 words to make it better clean it up and we pumped it up you might want to read it again dr. Ricky 1024
reply by Sherman541 on 29-Dec-2017
    You are welcome and I will re-read it. Thanks for letting me know :)
reply by Sherman541 on 29-Dec-2017
    I did go re-read the story I still love it and it does make more sense. :)

    However, If the Monster stated, I don't think it would be a ? {"I never used to look like this?" Stated the Monster.} but again up to you. Sherman541 :)

Hi Ricky1024. I am giving you five stars for the effort you are putting into your work. I read your profile biography and you openly admit that you are a beginning writer. Great job with this children's fairy tale.
