One weird fairy tale.

One weird fairy tale.

A Story by david r. lessard
"

Things are not often as they seem.

"

Once upon a time, there was an enchanted forest.


In it, the princess slept soundly.


She was beautiful.


(Except for the snoring that could be heard for some distance around her in the dark forest).


The frog hopped up to her awkwardly and kissed her;


its quick, darting, sticky tongue probing her cheek and retracting quickly.


POOF!


The princess magically transformed herself into a toad,


while the frog suddenly appeared at her side as prince;


handsome, tall and muscular.


Upon seeing the toad lying at his feet,


the prince picked it up gingerly,


walked over to the nearest brook and dumped her in.


All's not well that doesn't end well.
