The beautiful Princess Charlotte is playing with her golden ball in the garden of the palace. She throws it up into the air, but it falls into the well. She can't get it. Up pops a frog. “I will get it for you if you will give me something in return.” “What do you want?” “Let me eat from your golden plate and sleep in. your silken bed.” “You got it,” says the Princess. But he doesn't, because when he tries to collect on the debt, the princess reneges and calls him an ugly, slimy, loathsome toad. “The name is Kermit”, he tells her. He also tells her that he is really a prince who is doomed to remain a frog until a beautiful princess kisses him. “The only kiss you are going to get from me,” says Charlotte, “is a kiss goodbye.” She hurls him against the wall. He turns into a tall, dark handsome hunk. “Oh,” says she, “I hope I haven't given you the wrong impression.” But, she has. Will she get him back? Or will she get her come-uppance?
And where’s the touch of Irish in this story? Well, aside from the frog being green, there is a surprise ending. The touch of Irish is in the ending.
