Under the dim lights I could see he was concerned and still wanting
to tell me something. His family was a very highly reguarded family
long past hstory for hundreds of years. I understood the urgency of
family but what was the imprtance of trying to tel me all this.
"Zuoo" my dear what seems to be the matter, your acting as
if I should know all the particularies concerning your family, what is
it you ant me to know, I asked. He finally took a sigh and said,
" you see there was a wicked witch who tormented my family for
years, generatios of family members had to do as she sid or would have
had a spell put upon them, when I was old enough to rule, and this
wich started her practices on me, I said NO and would not listen, she
put a hex, incantation,spell whatever you want to call it on me. I
have been able to survive but only under certain circumstaces these
last ten years. You would not believe how I miss my family and how
dear they are to me, although I have not seen them, it had to be this
way. The witch said I would stay a frog until the first kiss of a
beauty, which was you Toni, and only to get away from the curse this
beauty would have to understand, and believe me.Take my hand in
marriage then and only then would I become whole again as a man, like
Cindrella in her pumpkin I too will turn into that slimy frog you held
by midnite.Itoo, have powers but cannot use then until I am whole
again. Do you now understand my love? I was so uncertain at what this
man was telling me, I didn't know if I should believe him or not.A
frog, witches, promises, marriage, and magic powers, this sure did not
sound like a typical everyday conservation. As I looked into his deep
eyes, I saw the hurt and pity now, and knew his kind man was telling
the truth what could I do, and especially how could I turn away from
him!
