Sometimes the princess in me needs to see the fairy tale from another angle
I always find this fractured look at a timeless tale refreshing so I'm sharing it 'cause I know I can't be the only one....
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's 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 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 white wine and onion cream sauce
she chuckled and thought to herself...
I don't f....ing think so.
Unfortunately I'm unable to credit this to an actual person as it turned up in a forwarded email
however to the author if you're out there
from all of us here
BRAVO
it made my day!
