a prince in disguise

My Catster friend Ethan's mom took this photo, and once again has graciously allowed me to pilfer it for my blog. As soon as I saw it though, it reminded me of the tale of the frog who when kissed turns into a prince, and I've always wondered about that. Why a frog per se? In truth I'm not really familiar with the narrative, not having been exposed to most of the books and fairy tales that North American children grow up with (cultural deprivation!), so I decided I'd better look it up. Here's a site containing various versions of the original Grimm story.
