------- Forwarded foolishness follows -------
A widow was feeling rather lonely and decided that the best thing for
her would be to have a companion. So, off she went to the pet shop.
She wasn't sure just what kind of pet she'd like, so she figured she'd
just walk around until she found just the "right one." She went past the
adorable little puppies, past the playful kittens, past the preening
birds, past the sleeping hamsters, past the whirling gerbils, and past
the colorful fish. Nothing really appealed to her and seemed to be just
what she was looking for. She decided to go around the store again.
On the way over to the puppies, she walked by a barrel. At the bottom of
the barrel was a rather nasty looking toad. When she looked in, he
WINKED at her! Our poor widow just shook herself! She couldn't believe
it. She rather quickly went back to the other pets on display.
Once again, she checked out those sweet little puppies, the darling
kittens, the fluttering birds, the fuzzy hamsters, the sleek gerbils,
and the darting fish. Nothing really did it for her. She was starting to
get discouraged. So, she figured one last time around, just in case she
missed something.
Going by the barrel again, she took another peek. There was that nasty
toad, and this time, he puckered up & threw her a kiss!! This was almost
too much for the poor widow and she just about ran over to the other
pets.
She tried hard to find just the right one to take home with her, but not
one of those cute puppies or silky kittens or chirping birds or golden
hamsters or skinny gerbils or fancy fish seemed right for her. Totally
discouraged by now, the widow decided to go home.
On the way out of the shop, she had to walk past the barrel again. As
she furtively peeked in, the toad just gave her the most beseeching
look, and he had a little tear on the corner of his eye. He even sniffed
a bit. This was too much for our widow, she started heading for the exit
in a hurry.
All of a sudden it struck her that this poor toad was probably just as
lonely as she was. Not only that, but he was so ugly that no one would
probably buy him, especially not with all the other nice pets available.
So up to the counter she marched, told the salesperson she'd take the
toad, but requested that he be put in a sturdy box. When she got to her
car, she placed the box on the seat next to her and proceeded to drive
home.
As she was driving along, she heard some scratching coming from the box.
She tried to ignore it for a bit, but then thought that the toad might
need some air, so she opened the box a bit. (What could it hurt?)
She would glance over at the toad from time to time, and he kept winking
at her and throwing her kisses. She finally thought, "Oh heck, what
could it hurt?" and she leaned over and KISSED him!
And POOF! He turned into a HANDSOME PRINCE!!
And do you know what our poor widow turned into?
The first motel she came to!!
