The Tale of the Boy and the Frog
Once upon a time there was a boy. He was out for a walk, when a frog suddenly spoke to him:
- I am enchanted. Kiss me, and I will turn into a beautiful princess.
The boy bent down, picked up the frog, put it in his pocket, and kept walking. After a little while, the frog spoke again:
- If you kiss me and turn me into a beautiful princess, I promise I'll stay with you for a whole week.
The boy took the frog out of his pocket, looked at it, smiled, and put it back inside the pocket.
After yet another while, the frog spoke once more:
- If you kiss me and turn me into a beautiful princess, I promise I'll stay with you for a whole month.
Once more the boy took the frog out of his pocket, looked at it, smiled, and put it back inside the pocket.
Then the frog shouted:
- If you kiss me and turn me into a beautiful princess, I promise I'll stay with you forever, and do whatever you want me to do.
Again, the boy took the frog out of his pocket, looked at it, smiled, and put it back inside the pocket.
Finally, the frog asked:
- What's the matter with you? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, and that I'll stay with you forever, and that I'll do anything you tell me to. Why won't you kiss me?
The boy replied:
- I'm a computer programmer. I don't have time for any girlfriends, but a talking frog is AWESOME.
