The Frog princess or How to Unkiss a Prince

The Frog Princess or How to Unkiss a Prince


Belch! I was a fine fat frog.
Along wanders this prince...
...he gives me one kiss and...
Now I am a pouty princess.
Squatting on the Royal Throne is a royal pain.
The banquet food doesn't even move.
Hopping in the Royal Fountain has...consequences.
"I was a fine fat frog. Would you mind unkissing me?"
"That kiss-a-frog thing was mom's idea. I'm curious, Why were you a frog?"
"A witch put a curse on me."
"Let's find the witch and reverse the curse!"
He was unprepared for the journey.
"Are you going to eat that bug?"
"These things are really good when they are fresh."
Eventually we fell in love, just like any other fairy tale. On that day we found the witch's house.
"I want to be a frog," I said.
The witch was stirring her cauldron.
"Try kissing. It worked last time," she mumbled.
So we did and....
"I'm a frog again!" I trilled.
"So am I!" the prince croaked.
The witch cackled, "I need four frog legs for this potion."
Jump!
"Oh, croak!" I chirruped. "Did you want to be a frog?"
"I like the snapping tongue."
"How about a fresh minnow with a side of flies?"
"This is great! My sister can run the kingdom."
"Have a dragonfly!"
"Belch!"
