Si Tu Cherche Pas Partout Tu Trouveras Jamais L'amour...
Juge Jamais Quelqu'un
Y'a Peut-Être Bin Des Choses À T'apprendre...
Once upon a time in a land far, far away lived a beautiful Princess. She was tall and willowy and from afar her tresses were like spun gold.
Although the Princess led a joyous existence and spent many merry moments in her royal court and played in the palace gardens all day long with her 6 trusted maids, the Princess yearned for happiness and longed to find her one and true love.
One sunny day while she was sitting on a bench pondering on her future, she felt that something was observing her. She looked around but could see nothing. Suddenly she felt a swish of air and something cold landed on her hand. She looked down and shrieked!
There was a forlorn-looking toad perched on her hand. The toad was in a sorry state. Dark brown with warts, it had a bulbous head and croaked miserably.
In those days, princesses had the gift of understanding the language of beasts be it big or small. Before too long, the toad revealed that it was actually a prince and that only a princess who had the courage to kiss it despite its ugly appearance would break the spell.
The Princess was not convinced of this. It was inconceivable that somebody as noble as a prince could be inside this hideous toad.
The toad asked that the princess return the next day to the same spot so that it may be able to prove its sincerity. True to its word, it showed the princess that it was not lying and despite herself, the Princess began to spend more time with toad.
Each day the Princess' feelings for the toad grew stronger. The toad entertained the Princess with his jokes and tales of other toads which he had befriended from a slimy pond nearby before it met the Princess.
As the Princess was about to make the life changing decision to kiss the toad and finally find her true love, something unexpected happened.
The toad realised that he missed his toady friends and wasn't sure whether he wanted to be a prince after all. He found that he missed the slimy pond and its inhabitants. He knew that he did like the Princess well enough but he just could not bear to be parted from his toady existence.
The Princess was beside herself and thought that she could not bear the pain of not being with the toad. She then took a good long look at the toad and realised that the toad was actually a selfish and pompous amphibian who only thought of itself. The Princess, you see, had shared her hopes and dreams with the toad and the toad had made a mockery of all that was dear to her.
Suddenly she felt strong and realised that she was, after all, a royal princess and there were many, many princes in nearby kingdoms who were willing to slay dragons just to be in her exalted presence.
She realised then how silly it was for her to ever think that the toad could make her happy.
As she was about to leave the corner of the garden where she and the toad often met, she suddenly stepped on something cold and squishy.
To her horror, she realised that she had ended the life of the toad.
"Oh, well - too bad...!"
And she skipped merrily into a brighter future....
