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 and evil witch cast a spell on me.
One kiss from you, however,
and I will turn back into the young, dapper prince that I am.
And then, my sweet, we can marry
and set up housekeeping in your 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 sumptously
on lightly sauted frogs legs
cooked in a white wine and onion sauce,
she chuckled to herself:
I dont friggin think so!
