"Once upon a time, a frog was pondering the meaning of life in the middle of a narrow road. A princess floated past him, her nose turned up and inhaling deeply of the wonderful aroma coming from somewhere in the woods.

She had been lost and wandering alone, starving, and the smell of cooking had made her both dizzy and giddy at the same time.

Now the frog realized that this princess could possibly be The One to kiss him and turn him back into a prince. But since he had JUST narrowly escaped the pot from which this wonderful smell came and since he did remember how this particular princess had stepped on another hopeful frog this morning with her face turned away in disgust, this frog simply watched her float away and gave a mental shrug.

Not every tale has a happy ending, he philosophized, gave a lazy ribbit and then hopped his way toward the nearest pond."
