The Old Man and the Frog
The Old Man and the Frog......
An 81-year old man who loved to fish was sitting in his boat one day when he heard a voice say, "Pick me up".
He looked around and couldn't see any one. He thought he was dreaming when he heard the voice say again, "Pick me up". He looked in the water and there, floating on the top, was a frog.
The man said, "Are you talking to me?"
The frog said, "Yes, I'm talking to you. Pick me up, then kiss me and I'll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen! Then I will take it as my task in life to serve you and to satisfy your every desire and need".
The man looked at the frog for a short time, reached over, picked it up carefully, and placed it in his front breast pocket.
Then the frog said, "What, are you nuts? Didn't you hear what I said? I said kiss me and I will give take care of your every desire and need".
The old man opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said, "No ... at my age I'd rather have a talking frog".
