The princess and the frog Once upon a time… in a far land… a pretty princess, independent and full of self-esteem. She found a little frog while she was contemplating the nature and thinking about how the wonderful lake of her castle was relaxing and ecological. Then the frog jumped on her lap and said: – Pretty princess! I was a very beautiful prince. So an evil witch threw me a enchantment, and I've become this disgusting frog. However, yours kiss can convert me again in a beautiful prince. So we could get married and constitute a happy home in your wonderful castle. Your mother could live with us and you could prepare my dinner everyday, wash my clothes, rear our children and we would be happy forever! On that same night, while the princess was tasting frog legs sauté, accompanied by a creamy onion sauce and a fine white wine, the princess smiled, thinking with herself: – Huh?… Hell no! (L. F. Verísssimo)
