The Talking Frog

 A boy 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 stay with you for one week."  
 
    The boy took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned 
 it to the pocket.  
 
    The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me an turn me back into a 
 princess, I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want."  
 
    Again, the boy 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 week and do anything 
 that you want.  Why won't you kiss me?"  
 
    The boy said, "Look, I'm an engineer.  I don't have time for a
 girlfriend, but a talking frog is cool."
