The fat and equally ugly frog hopped onto Princess Gaga-Lala's lap and said, "O Your Majesty, O Most Elegant Lady of the Kingdom, hear the sexy croaks from my sensuous throat. I was once a handsome prince, until an evil witch cast a spell upon me. All it takes is one passionate kiss from you, however, and I will turn back into the dapper, young prince that I truly am, and then, my sweet, we can marry and set up housekeeping in your castle with my mother living with us and she can prepare the best meals that no human has ever eaten, organize the servants, while you can rule this kingdom without having to bear my children as you are too old anyway. Then, you will forever feel grateful and be happy for once in your life. Don't worry about your bad breath for I have a blocked nose due to a sinus problem."
Princess Gaga-Lala smiled and asked the fat and equally ugly frog to jump into a lovely gilt cage lined with lotus leaves and the best buds from the cleanest ponds all around.
That night as the princess dined sumptuously on a repast of lightly sauteed frog legs seasoned in white wine and onion cream sauce, she chuckled to herself and thought, "I don't @%&$#@$ think so."
And so the story went that one frog after another hopped on to Princess Gaga-Lala's lap because they wanted her kiss which they thought would turn them into handsome princes but all they did was to make her happier, healthier and fatter.
And when did the frogs stop hopping?
What do you think?
Did they frogs die first or did Princess Gaga-Lala from over-consumption of frogs' legs?
Please note: The frogs and the princessin this story is a metaphorical construct. No actual frogs were harmed or consumed in the writing of the story. Any resemblance to any living creature big or small, dead or alive or yet to be born is a pure coincidence. :-) This is a work of humour, satire and parody. That means the statements and information contained in these pages are by no means fact, and are offered solely as comedy material or as individual opinion.
Do leave a comment, dear reader. I would love to hear your creative ideas. :-)
Take care and have a nice day!
Starmandala I was hoping you would add a dash of French dressing to your charming story. After all, it isn't only the Chinese who are partial to frogs' legs... those insouciant purveyors of submarines-that-don't-dive and nuclear reactors-that-don't-make-the-news are known to be quite amphibivorous!
