+*+*+* When I was just a girl of ten, I knew this boy whose name was Ben. He only played with his pet frog, whom he had raised from pollywog. He cared not what the kids all said, he only cared for his frog Fred. He took his pet each day to school, even though that broke the rule. Fred could croak, his ABC's, and read Shakespeare aloud with ease. Ben was proud of his small bud, all green and slimy and caked with mud. One day wee Fred got under foot, and Ben did crush him, with his boot. He stood there stunned, and horrified, at how his friend had croaked and died. Next day his folks, bought Ben a doggy, to take the place of Fred the Froggy. He bought green paint and sprayed the dog, then taught it how to croak like frog. The froggy-doggy, became his friend, and this tall tale has come to end! +*+*+* [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (07-29-2003 01:19 AM).] |

This was great, Earth Angel! I just finished babysitting at a neighbor's house and this was a cute read after spending most of the day with a toddler. My mind was already in kid-zone! Keep 'em comin'! |
