This is the fairy tale that should have been read to girls when they were little:
Once upon a time in a land far away, ~~~~~~~~
a beautiful, independent, self-assured princess ~~~~~~~~
happened upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle. ~~~~~~~~
The frog hopped into the princess' lap and said: ' Elegant Lady, I was once a handsome prince, until an evil witch cast a spell upon me. ~~~~~~~~
One kiss from you, however, and I will turn back into the dapper, young prince that I am ~~~~~~~~
and then, my sweet, we can marry ~~~~~~~~
and set up housekeeping in your castle ~~~~~~~~
with my mother, ~~~~~~~~
where you can prepare my meals, ~~~~~~~~
clean my clothes, bear my children, ~~~~~~~~
and forever feel grateful and happy doing so. ' ~~~~~~~~
That night, as the princess dined sumptuously ~~~~~~~~
on lightly sauteed frog legs ~~~~~~~~
seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce, ~~~~~~~~
she chuckled and thought to herself: ~~~~~~~~
I don't freakin' think so.

Awesome story. You should also take a look at "The Paper Bag Princess". It's one of my all time favorites. I used to use it when I was teaching.
