Once upon a time there was a haughty prince who was aloof and cruel. One day, a witch transformed him into a toad as punishment for his misdeeds, saying “And so shall you remain, cursed to hop the world ugly and forgotten, until you learn to change.”
“Woe is me,” thought the toad prince, “However am I to change while trapped in this crude form, unable even to speak? Is there something I must do to break this enchantment? Someplace I must go?”
And then, as if in answer to his question, he saw a sign. At that moment, all became clear to him and he knew what he had to do. Anyway, that’s why the soda machine is broken. Sorry about that. Just take this voucher to the front cashier and she’ll give you your dollar back.
Eh, he’s worth a dollar, I think.
Is that change in US, or Croaktia Dollars ?
Ha! ???
Way back in elementary school one of my favorite videogames was Super Mario RPG. There’s a frog town, with a shop that sells various frog items, including, iirc, Kerokecola.
Oh, Mike, I just love you.
*sigh* If only it were so easy…
There’s a lightbulb joke in there somewhere.
Genius, Mike, genius!
I don’t know what Mike’s day job is, but in an ideal world he’d be making a fortune as a comedy writer.
Agreed! If I was a rich person, he would be too.
Perfect scroll down. Ribbit.
Brilliant writing.
It’s mostly his backside that has change.
So if I help him out, I will be richly rewarded?
We have many toads living around our home. My husband sometimes collects them in a bucket and takes them to a nearby pond. In an attempt to keep our dogs from licking them and vomiting foaming froth. They invariably make their way back to our yard. A passerby may hear this exclaimed during the summer months and wonder what the heck we’re doing! “No! Don’t lick the toads”. 🙂
😀
This made me laugh. Thank you. ^_^
Thanks for the laughter! I read this several times because it tickled me so.
So ‘da can hit him in the keester and still no prince! Huh.
