Natural Frog Is Supernatural

Once upon a time in a huge metropolis called Danville, Va. there lived a 15 year-old girl named Wanda. Well, actually, that was her nickname. She got it because she was always saying things such as, "I, 'Wanda' go there," "I, 'Wanda' buy this," "I 'Wanda' go have a sleepover at Mary-Jane's house," and, "I, 'Wanda' how many times I have to ask Freddy to attend my party before he says, 'yeah, alright'' and other things such as that. Her family was a lower-middle class one so they couldn't afford all the things that the richer kids in school had. That made Wanda turn green with envy. That was beside the fact that she had blue hair and yellow eyes. Then when her daddy got technically ferlode, which is just a nicer-sounding way of stating the fact, "I have just been fired, and it is not out of a cannon." That was when she had to find a well-paying job to do after school every day in order to help support her parents since they had both both worked so hard to be sure all of her needs had been met. She was always telling him, "Now, you're not a bum, are you, Daddy?" then he would reply, "No, but I'm working on it, sweetheart." It was quite obvious she needed to find a part-time job she was able to do every day after school, that is in addition to all of her other activities such as gymnastics, playing the flute in the pep-band, being the president of the booster's club, practicing for the lead role of Lyza in the clasic play My Fair Lady, making some crafts to sell for money, doing all of the cleaning chores around her house since her daddy was so warn out when he got home from his job of being the chief supervisor as a crane opporator to help the chary pickers run their heavy machinery and helping her daddy with all of the household chores since her mamma had run away with the mail lady. That last one was hard for her to understand because she couldn't comprehend how some guy could run away with a, " 'male'-lady." In other words, the main thing she didn't have to do was be bored, even though every night she slept like a, "board." That was awful because it meant she, "wooden" have any free time.

After school she was walking home to save gas on her mamas car, when suddenly she saw a frog standing in the road, smiling. She'd never seen a frog give her a smile so she figured it was a special one. She picked it up and said, "Gee! You sure are an ugly creature! Yet you look like you need some love." Then she kissed the odd-looking thing. To her surprise, sparks started flying out of him. She put him down on the ground and backed away as the sparks continued flying. That was not the kind of behavior you see every time you would kiss your plain, old, every day, garden-variety, run-of-the-mills frog, so she figured there must be something extraordinary about that particular creature. Then smoke engulfed the little creature for 2 seconds, then there was a great big, "Poof!" of smoke.

When it had cleared, the ugly frog was gone, but in his place was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life. He stood about 6 foot 4, had gorgeous red-hair, killer blue eyes and a smile that could charm the very birds down from their trees. Then he spoke saying, "Wow! Thank you, gorgeous! It's great to be human again! Being a reptile for 6 years was really getting old fast! Yet thanks to you, the curse is over with! Thank you! God bless you!"

Wanda was so surprised she opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. She just said, "Uh, uh,"

"That's what I like!" said the handsome man patting her, "a gal who doesn't have trouble saying the right words! Allow me to introduce myself! I'm Prince Franklin! An evil witch turned me into that creature because I wouldn't go on a date with her, but she put the ug into ugly! Now, she wasn't beet with an ugly stick, somebody used the whole cottun-pickin' tree on her! She actually expected me to accept her request when she told me to marry her. When I said, 'no,' she threw a hissee-fit and turned me into that totally gross-looking creature! I was, 'knee-deep' in trouble! I used to tell really funny jokes, which tickled most people's ribs, but she didn't like people to, 'rib-it.' I shouldn't have, 'toad' her, 'No' when she asked me to go on a date with her, but the only, 'date' she could get is one that's the, 'pits' to make her be, 'hoppy.' My friends, 'toad' me to stay away from her, but I was quite, 'knee-deep' in lonlyness after my girlfriend, 'left' me, which wasn't, 'right.' That old hag was dumber then a Pollock, rather, 'tad-Pole,-ock' to be precise! Yet because of what you've done, I can speak without having, 'a person in my throat.' That's no bull, rather, 'bull-frog,' to be more precise. I will write you a Thank-You note on, 'peeper,' uh, make that, paper. I was doomed to remain that way forever, with my only girlfriend being a frog named, 'Anne Phibean.' That was how I would have remained until I, 'croaked.' I also didn't like waiting for my children to hatch since that wasn't, 'egg'-zactly the way I'd always dreamed it would be which, 'egg'-sturminated my hopes of having a, 'hoppy' life. That is no, 'bull,' (frog), either. If you'd like to merry me, we can write that agreement on, 'peeper,' uh, I mean paper."

"Alright!" said Anne, "Enough with those bad frog-puns! I get it! If you're trying to, 'hop-it,' uh, I mean, pop-it, the answer is, 'Yeah!' Let's start our life together now! My Aunt Lilly has a house her mom lived in, but she just, 'croaked' which means we can both live in, 'Lilly's-pad.' She, 'toad' me I could have it! Now, let's find a Justice Of The Peace and sign that, 'peeper' right now, emediately if not sooner!"

So in the natural, they ended up getting hitched, but in the supernatural, that was the kind of lifestyle they had with each other, super, and so, as the best written children's stories of all-time will officially finish up with,

"THEY ALL LIVED, 'HOPPILY' EVER AFTER!!!!"
