just because it's the 11th anniversary
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 yon 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 shallot cream sauce,
she chuckled to herself and thought: "I don't think so."
