Once upon a time in a land far away a beautiful, independent, self-assured princess cam upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a field near her castle.

The frog hopped into the lap of the princess and said, “Elegant lady, I was once a handsome prince until an evil witch cast a spell on me. One kiss for you however, will turn me back in the handsome young prince I am. An then we can marry, and set up housekeeping in your castle with my mother. You can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children, and forever feel grateful and happy to do so.”

That night the princess dined on lightly sauteed frog legs season in white wine with onion cream sauce and chuckled to herself, “I don’t frigging think so!“.

    Great story! Have you read “The Paper Bag Princess,” by Robert Munsch? Your fairytale reminds me of that book. I came upon your site while researching digestive enzymes. I have Crohn's Disease, but have been pretty a-symptomatic for many years. Hoping to stay that way, but now in mid-life, looking for some additional supplements. Thanks for doing this great site.
