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 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 sumptuously on a repast of lightly
sauted frog legs seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce, she chuckled
to herself and thought:
I don't fucking think so.
