Silly Frog Stories
A Modern Fairy Tale
One day, a young girl is walking through a park when she hears a faint "help me, help me."
She looks around and follows the quiet voice to a bush near the path. Looking under the bush she spies a little green frog trapped under a log. The girl moves the log and picks up the frog. "Oh, thank you, thank you," says the frog. "Take me home and put me on your pillow and in the morning I'll be a handsome Prince."
So the girl takes the frog home and puts him on the pillow and there in the morning is a handsome prince. You don't believe that? Neither did her mother!
The Frog Loan
A frog goes into a bank and hops up to the loan officer. The frog says, "Hi, what's your name?" The loan officer replies, "My name's John Paddywack. Can I help you?"
The frog says, "Yeah, I'd like to borrow some money." The loan officer finds this a little odd, but gets out a form. He says, "Okay, what's your name?"
The frog says, "Kermit Jagger." The loan officer says, "Really? Any relation to Mick Jagger?"
The frog says, "Yeah, he's my dad." The loan officer says, "Okay, do you have any collateral?"
The frog hands the loan officer a pink ceramic elephant and says, "Will this do?" The loan officer says, "I'm not sure. Let me go check with the bank manager." The frog says, "Tell him I said hi. He knows me."
The loan officer goes back to the manager and says, "Excuse me, but there's this frog out here named Kermit Jagger who wants to borrow some money. All he has for collateral is this pink elephant. I'm not even sure what it is."
The bank manager looks up from reading email jokes and says, "It's a knick-knack Paddywack, give the frog a loan, his old man is a rolling stone."
The Frog Prince
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 onto her 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 my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children, and feel forever grateful doing so."
That night, as the princess dined sumptuously on a repast of lightly sautéed frog legs seasoned in a wine and onion cream sauce, she chuckled to herself and thought, "I really don't think so."
