The fellow bent over, picked up the frog and put the little creature in his pocket. The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and I turn into a princess, I will stay with you for one week."
The good-looking young man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and then returned it to his pocket. This time the voice coming from his pocket sounded desperate. "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess I promise I will stay with you and do ANYTHING you want!"

Finally, the frog became very impatient and said, "What is the matter. I told you I am really a beautiful princess and that I would stay with you for a week and do whatever you want. Why won't you kiss me?"
"Look, I'm a software engineer. I don't have time for dilly-dallying around with a girlfriend, but I think having a frog is cool."

"My mother-in-law. My dog bit her and she died as well," related the walker.
"The would-be leaf-raker thought about that a minute and said, "Can I borrow your dog?"
"Sure, just join the back of the line," replied the walker.
