The Princess and the Turtle
Published by Mel on Monday, August 28, 2006 at 1:00 PMMost ppl have heard of the Princess and the Frog story. Bot how many have heard of the Princess and the Turtle? This story is actually the original story, which occurred before the Princess and the Frog story came about.
One day, the Princess was taking a walk in her garden. After a while, she came across a huge bon fire (bear in mind that in those days, the only way to get rid of rubbish was to incinerate it, hence the bon fire in the garden). She was fascinated by it, and decided to take a closer look. But along her path was a turtle, walking very very slowly towards the pond, which incidently was on the same direction as the bon fire. The Princess did not desire to dirty her long skirts by walking on the grass, hence she was reduced to walking at snail's pace behind the turtle.
After a short while, the Princess got very impatient. She found it ridiculous that she, a royalty, was delayed by a lowly turtle. In a fit of anger, she gave the turtle one hard kick, to which the poor turtle found himself in a very unnatural position in the air. Flying. Towards to blazing flames of the bon fire.
The Princess felt rather pleased, now that the path is open to her. She skipped happily towards to fire, just in time to see the turtle roast. The aroma of a roasting turtle was so mouth-watering that it sparked her curiousity. She picked up a long stick and tossed the roasted turtle out of the fire. And had it for breakfast. It was good. So good that she wanted more.
Hence she headed to to Castle pond, where she hoped to find more turtles. There she found a frog instead. Now I am sure u have heard of the Princess and Frog story, but what you need to realise is that there is no where in Heaven, Hell and on Earth will you find ANY girl (much less a Princess) who would kiss a damn frog, even if the damn frog can talk. The only reason why her lips touched that frog was because she couldn't find any turtles, only that damn talking frog. She wanted to taste and see if the frog would be as delicious as the turtle, but to her horror, it turned into a Prince.
The Princess lived happily ever after. TheFrog Prince had to learn how to cook, and serve good breakfasts to the Princess for the rest of his life! (He started to wonder why he wanted to become human in the first place, life was much better and more carefree as a frog!)
