The Frog and the Prince

Strange to think back on it now. It was so long ago, but I remember that late summer evening. We lived near a creek and the orchards in my backyard were irrigated by that creek. We used to get so many frogs chirping in my backyard that it got almost deafening. And, starting from spring on, we always had to be careful where we walked in the evenings – we just might step on a frog.
