Fairytale Twist
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 set up 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 onion cream sauce, she chuckled to herself and
thought, "I don't fuckin' think so." |
