The Story of the Bald Frog, Alfred

So after updating my profile I got asked this random question: 

Can you write this story? The children want to hear a story, quickly; tell them the story of the bald frog and the wig. 

I decided to accept the challenge and wrote this whole story before blogger told me it was too long to fit on my profile. So, why waste a good story???

     Well children, once upon a midnight dreary their was a vain frog named Alfred.  He lived on Darguzas Falls amidst hundreds of ugly toads. One day all of the grotesque toads grew agrivated by Alfred's vainness and decided to get back at him. The elder toad, Minu, came up with a plan.
     After a long day of swimming on the waterfall Alfred was surprized to see a fair young frog fairy coming towards him. He asked her; "Do you have a band - aid cause i just got hit by an angel that fell from the sky?" She replied, "haha... no, sorry." She then went on to say; "You know you may shock more ladies if you grow out some hair." He was offended but tried to hide it saying, "Haha fine, even though I already know I look delicious i'll keep your suggestion in mind." 
     At this the fairy replied; "Oh wait no longer, i'll give you a wig with long, golden, lustrous locks to try on." He complied to this plan and the wig appeared to be just as glorious as she said it would.  He lifted it up and placed it on his slick head.  BOOM - BOOM - POW! The wig stuck to his head and the locks shined with brilliance.

~The only problem???

The fairy was part of Minu's plan to sabotage Alfred's ego. As soon as he put on the majestic wig he turned into a bigger, fatter toad than all of the rest! And like the fairy promised, Alfred did shock more ladies than before...

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak ~Book Review!

The Book Thief...  

         A novel narrarated by the one and only; Death.  This story is set in the small town; Molching, Germany during WW2. Death tells the story of young Liesel, (a girl left at the home of Hans and Rose Huberman by her mother before her mother was threatened by the Nazis.) and her stuggles growing up in Nazi Germany. No, she's not a jew or a communist, (or even a Nazi enthusiast,) as you might conclude. She is just a young, benign thief trying to discover what should be justified in life.

         Upon her younger brother dying on the train to Molching the discouraged Liesel steals a book left by the grave diggers.  This is the begining of the book thief's stealing chronicle. Much more stealing occurs and with it comes added knowledge for Liesel in the stories she reads.  In her new life she builds an acquaintance with Rosa and an ever - lasting bond with her new father, Hans.
        Filled with reading, stealing, soccer, accordian music, chores, bombing, new perspective, Nazis, friendships, hardship,a few stunning twists, and new beginings; Liesel's life story is harrowing, yet enlightening at the same time. Skillfully written by Markus Zusak; this is a momentous read for everyone, especially those interested in Holocaust reading.

Up Close and Personal~

Say cheese! Sorry I havent posted in a while; my days have been quite hectic!  I took this photo while on a day trip in the smoky mountains. I never really put much thought into the deer crossing signs on the road till I, "sh - zam!" saw an elk cross the road! (I guess Elk and deer aren't as cynical as I thought)

OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR!

                 

What is this world coming to? Imagine your cruising around in your car and all of a sudden this "pops" out in your mirror!  I personally am a first time driver and have a habit of jerking the wheel when I see oncoming trouble so i would probably crash like a goldfish running into his clear tank if I saw this in my mirror. 

So... What would you do? Please feel free to comment!

Deeper and Deeper...

     If you really think about it... the word deep means something different, or alike, to everyone.  For example; some may assume that when someone says deep they may mean deep in debt, especially in our economy. Or, with the thoughts of  intellectuals, "wow, that's deep."  Deep like a pit, deep like the eyes of a loved one, deep like some unexamined abyss of the ocean.  The word - the meaning, of deep is very importaint to everyone.
