"A Talking Frog"
A boy was crossing a road one day when a frog called
out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a
beautiful princess." He bent over, picked up the frog
and put it in his pocket.
The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and
turn me back into a beautiful Princess, I will stay
with you for one week." The boy took the frog out of
his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket.
The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me
back into a Princess, I'll stay with you forever."
Again the boy took the frog out, smiled at it and put
it back into his pocket.
Finally the frog asked, "What is it? I've told you I'm
a beautiful Princess, and that I'll stay with you
forever. Why won't you kiss me?" The boy said,
"Look, I'm a computer programmer. I don't have time
for girlfriends, but a talking frog is really cool."

"The Frog and the Princess"
Once upon a time, in a land far away, a beautiful,
independent, self assured modern 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 looked up and said, "I used to be a
handsome prince until a wicked witch cast an evil
spell on me and turned me into a frog. 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 delicious lightly sauteed frog legs,
seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce,
she smiled in smug satisfaction and chuckled to
herself, "Not bloody likely!"
