This is the fairy tale that we should have been reading when we were
little girls...
A Princess.....
Once upon a time, In a land far far away, a beautiful, independent,
self-assured princess
happened upon a frog as she sat, contemplating ecological issues on the
shores of a pure
and totaly 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
set up 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 lightly sauteed frog
legs seasoned in a
white wine and onion cream sauce, she chuckled and thought to herself:
I don't freakin' think so!
