The Princess and the Toad

 Once upon a time- there was a princess who was confused about her future. She didn't know which prince to choose, or which frog to kiss. Because of this confusion she was trapped by this nasty evil toad, who was pretending to be a frog so that he could capture the most beautiful princess in the land. 
You see, this toad had gone to an evil witch, and the witch had given him a spell. This spell was used to trick the princess into seeing him as the most handsome, most majestic, most powerful, most muscular, and definitely most eligible bachelor of all. The toad took the spell and  without reading the warning label drank it down. However, that warning label said that if the toad were to find a princess and not marry her before the spell ran out then he would turn back into a toad and never be able to find love again, and that if he ever decided that the princess wasn't good enough for him then the spell would become null as of that point.
So, back to where we were. The toad captured the princess, and made her feel as though she was in love, as though she was the most important person in the world; but, these feelings didn't last long. The toad wasn't ready to get married, he only wanted something temporary so that he could brag to all of his friends that he had captured a princess. He kept the princess around for many months, and she became all but his slave. She learned to cook, and clean, and sew so that she could keep him happy. She made sure to keep her schedule open and available so she was always ready when her toad wanted to see her. She thought that this was the best life she could ever have.
One morning the toad decided that he wanted to try dating and see what other princess were out there. He had decided even though his princess was great he was getting tired of her. He wanted to be single again, to be free to go to the pond and spend time with just the guys. He decided that he was too good for his princess. He had decided that having somebody to take care of him wasn't all that great since he still had his mom and didn't need anybody else. 
Because of these ideas he had decided to tell the princess that he didn't want her any more. He told her that her beauty and thus her value had diminished and that she had become comely as she had replaced her princess dresses with clothes that were better for cleaning and cooking in. He told her he didn't love her any more and that he never really had, he had just wanted a girlfriend at the time and now he didn't so she needed to pack up and leave.
The princess was devastated! Her world was falling apart around her shoulders. She wallowed in her self pity for quite awhile, but finally went and talked to a great adviser of the kingdom.  He told her that none of the things that the toad had said about her were true, that none of them were anything that she should pay attention to. He told her he was beautiful and that in time if she were patient she would find a man that would make her feel beautiful by that actions that he did rather than the things that he got her. He told her that this man would be better than any prince, that he would show her through his actions that he loved her and she would see it every day rather than just being told when she needed to hear it. The adviser told her she just had to be patient and wait and find something else to focus on, however she needed to become happy and improve her skills to be worthy of this man. 
The princess moved away from the kingdom deciding to make her own way out in the world. She decided that she was going to try and find herself and that in finding herself she would find the man of her dreams. She decided not to kiss any more frogs or admire any more princes. She had decided that she was going to have fun and make new friends and try new things and that being a princess was highly overrated. 
So now you ask, how is this princess doing? She is doing fabulously well. No more princes, no more frogs, and definitely no more toads. She was done with that whole thing. She just wanted a down to earth hard working country man who would take care of her and she could take care of him and they would live happily ever after. She had learned her lesson and has grown from it. She is now living with her dog and going to school to be a teacher so that she could teach other people about the dangers out there in the world.
