A Modern Day Fairy Tale......
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 lap of the princess 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
sautéed frog legs seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce, she
chuckled to herself and thought: I don't fucking think so.
