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 sautéed froglegs
seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce
she chuckled to herself and thought:
"I don't fu@king think so."
