The Magic Frog

[brian]

Once upon a time there was a frog who lived in a lake all by himself. He had
been given special powers by a local witch. One day he finally ventured out
of the lake to get his first glimpse of the world outside. The first thing
he saw was a bear chasing a rabbit and so he called out to them and asked
them to stop.

Then he said to them: "I am a magical frog and since you are the first two
animals I have ever seen, I am going to grant you both three wishes. You
will each take turns using them and you have to use them now."

The bear (being greedy) went first. "I would like for every bear in this
forest to be female except for me."

A magical sound and it was done.

The rabbit said, "I would like a helmet."

This confused both the frog and the bear, but, after a magical sound, a
helmet appeared.

It was the bear's turn again. "I would like for every bear in the
neighbouring forest to be female."

A magical sound and it was done.

The rabbit went again. "I would like a motorcycle."

Both the frog and the bear wondered why the rabbit didn't just ask for a lot
of money with which he could buy himself a motorcycle, but, after a magical
sound, there was a motorcycle.

The bear took his last wish. "I would like for all the bears in the world to
be female except for me."

A magical sound and it was done.

The rabbit put on his helmet, started up the motorcycle, and said, "I wish
the bear was gay" and took off like a flash.
