This is the fairy tale that should have been read to us when we were little:
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 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 lightly sauteed frog legs
seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce,
she chuckled and thought to herself: I don't freakin' think so.
