A FAIRY TALE FOR THE ASSERTIVE WOMAN OF THE 21st CENTURY

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 into the princess' 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 forever feel grateful and happy doing so".

That night, as the princess dined sumptuously on a repast of lightly  sautéed  frog legs seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce, she chuckled and  thought to herself 'I don't f***ing think so".
