The Bald Frog and the Wig
This was a silly quesiton google's wizards have dreamed up to help me populate my profile with quirky information:
The children are waiting. Tell the story about the Bald Frog and the Wig.
well, here goes:
There lived a man named Sniffly. Well, his real name was Lawrence, but all of his friends called him Sniffly, because he was always trying to get rid of a cold. Some people thought it was because he did not have heat in his home. Others thought maybe he had scurvy from eating only Cadbury Cream Eggs. But in reality, he always had a cold because when he was a little boy, a magical frog made him that way.
It was the Summer after 3rd grade. Lawrence was spending the summer at his grandparents' farm in the Catskills. One day he was out blueberry picking, when he heard a strange sound. It sounded a little like a frog, but it also sounded like crying. After some crawling around in the grass, Lawrence found a small, bald frog. Now how could he know the frog was bald, frogs don't have any hair. Well this frog was wearing a wig, so Lawrence naturally assumed he was bald.
Lawrence scooped up the frog and ran back to show has grandparents. "Get that slimy creature out of my house this instant!" yelled his grandmother. "When I was in war we used to eat those," explained his grandfather.
So Lawrence took the bald frog outside, but he did not want to leave him alone, so Lawrence stayed outside all night. In the morning, Lawrence had caught a cold, and started to sniffle. The frog looked deep into Lawrence's eyes, and suddenly Lawrence felt warm all over. Then the frog hopped away.
The next winter, when it began to get cold out, Lawrence realized he did not feel cold, regardless of the temperature. However he still had the sniffles all the time, and this was when people started calling him Sniffles. But only Lawrence knows the reason, and it is all because of the Bald Frog with the Wig.
