The Frog and the Princess
Once upon a time, in a land far away, a beautiful,
independent, self assured princess happened upon a frog as
she sat, contemplating ecological issues on the shores of
an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle.
The frog hopped into the princess lap and said: "Elegant
Lady, I was once a handsome prince, until an evil witch
cast a spell upon me. One kiss from you, however, and I
will turn back into the dapper, young prince that I am, and
then, my sweet, we can marry and setup housekeeping in yon
castle with my mother, where you can prepare my meals,
clean my clothes, bear my children, and forever feel
grateful and happy doing so."
That night, as the princess dined sumptuously on a repast
of lightly sauteed frog legs seasoned in a white wine and
shallot cream sauce she chuckled to herself and thought:
"I don't fu<king think so."
