A man was crossing a road one day when a frog called
out to him and said:
“If you kiss me, I’ll turn into a beautiful princess.”
He bent over, picked up the frog, and put it in his
pocket.
The frog spoke up again and said: “If you kiss me and
turn me back into a
beautiful princess, I will tell everyone how smart and
brave you are and how
you are my hero.”
The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it,
and returned it to
his pocket.
The frog spoke up again and said: “If you kiss me and
turn me back into a
beautiful princess, I will be your loving companion
for an entire week.”
The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it,
and returned it to
his pocket. The frog then cried out: “If you kiss me
and turn me back into a
princess, I’ll stay with you for a year and do
ANYTHING you want.”
Again the man took the frog out, smiled at it, and put
it back into his
pocket.
Finally, the frog asked: “What is the matter? I’ve
told you I’m a beautiful
princess, that I’ll stay with you for a year and do
anything you want. Why
won’t you kiss me?”
The man said: “Look, I’m a computer programmer. I
don’t have time for a
girlfriend, but a talking frog is cool.”
