Once upon a time there was a Princess, who found a frog as she played beside the pond. He gave a low croak the first time their eyes met, and she thought she heard “I love you.” At that time she had been asking God to please send her a Prince she could fall in love with, and she thought he was the answer to her prayers.Having been brought up on a steady diet of fairy tales, she truly believed the frog was an enchanted Prince. And so she brought him home to her castle, introduced him to her parents as her boyfriend, dressed him up in princely clothes, kissed him, and waited for him to turn into a prince.
He did not. Every night she would kiss him, and she would taste the mud of the pond on his froggy lips, and smell the sewage on his breath. He would urinate on the clothes she put on him, and then leap out of them, they were too big anyway. He slept on her bed only when she tied him to bedpost, and then he would keep her awake the whole night with his croaking.
