THE FROG


The early frog gets the worm. That's how our Frog tells it, anyway.

He prefers the gummy sugared kind and seems to thrive on it. He is an essential character in so many fairy tales (The Frog Prince), folklore wisdom (warts, anyone?) and songs ("Frog Went a-Courtin' "). Mostly he hangs on the bookcase lily pad above the cookbooks (he avoids the French ones, though) and reminisces about past glories, but like the old trouper he is, he'll still put on a good puppet show whenever we ask him to.
