It was a beautiful night, so Ada decided to skip her favorite T.V. show to go for a long walk instead. She went to her favorite spot, a pond on the edge of a forest near her house. The stars were shining, a light breeze blew and crickets chirped. How romantic, she thought. On the edge of the pond, she spotted a frog on a stone. He looked right at her and seemed to speak to her, “Ribbet! Ribbet!” He said. Despite being a fairly logical person, she couldn’t help but wonder if the fairy tales were true. Could he be a prince?
Ada made sure that nobody was nearby before she gently lifted the frog from the stone and gave him a big kiss on top of his head. “Ribbet?” He said. Suddenly, Ada blinked, and the world turned to technicolor and a prince was leaning over her with hearts in his eyes. “Ma’am?” He said.
At least, that’s what Ada thought she saw while unconscious in the hospital. Sweet dreams, Ada.
