A man was crossing a road one day when a frog
called out to him and said, "If you kiss me,
I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He bent
over, picked up the frog, and put it in his
pocket.

The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me
and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will
tell everyone how smart and brave you are and how
you are my hero." The man took the frog out of
his pocket, smiled at it, and returned it to his
pocket.

The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me
and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will
be your loving companion for an entire week." The
man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it,
and returned it to his pocket.

The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn
me back into a princess, I'll stay with you for a
year and do ANYTHING you want." Again the man
took the frog out, smiled at it, and put it back
into his pocket.

Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter?
I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that
I'll stay with you for a year and do anything you
want. Why won't you kiss me?" The man said,
"Look, I'm a computer programmer. I don't have
time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog is
cool."
