Frog
Once upon a time, a kindly Clergyman was walking along a
river bank, when he heard a small voice at his feet. "Ahem."
it said, "I am not as I seem, a frog. In fact, I am a
Prince, who has been placed under a spell by a wicked Wizard.
Won't you take me home and look after me?"
So the Clergyman did take the frog home, fed it a saucer of
milk, and, when it was time to sleep, placed it upon his
pillow.
Then the frog spoke again. "In fact" it said "You can
break the spell. If a sufficiently pure-hearted person
were to kiss me on top of my head, before long I would
return to my natural form."
The Clergyman's heart was touched, and purity of heart
was his gig, so he kissed the frog on top of its little
head, and went to sleep. And, wonder of wonders, when
he awoke in the morning, the frog was gone, and in its
place lay a handsome young Prince.
And that, Your Honour, is the case for the defence. Go back to my jokes' page Go back to my page Go back to the main homepage
