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!"
Nice fairy tale twist!
