The bald frog with the wig.

Once there was a bald frog named Frank, he hated the fact that he had no hair, no one had told him it was normal for frogs to have no hair. But he lived in a pond where he only saw people and no other frogs. He saw people with long hair, short hair, curly hair and straight hair. Blond hair, black hair, red hair, even pink hair. He had to have hair. But where would a frog get hair from.

Then one day, he was swimming around in the pond when someone, walking past, dropped their bag, all the contents spilled out across the floor. Obviously in a hurry, they gathered up the contents and hurried right on, they however, managed to miss a hair brush. A hair brush with a rather large amount of blond hair in it. Frank was delighted, he pulled and pulled on the hair until some came off. He placed the hair carefully on his head and hopped slowly back to the pond, careful not to drop the hair along the way. The hair made a fabulous wig, he thought to himself, he sat there for at least an hour admiring himself.

What distracted him was a rather large croak. He turned to see a lady frog sat on a lily pad in the middle of the pond. She was staring straight at him.

Now as I said before, Frank had never seen another frog before, can you imagine his surprise when he noticed she had no hair!

Suddenly she started laughing at Frank, she laughed so hard she fell right off her lilypad!

"What are you laughing at?" Ask Frank, feeling completely bemused.
"You in that silly wig, didn't you know that frogs don't have hair?"
"No." Frank was going shy now and couldn't find a place to look.
"I bet you're much more handsome without it, throw it away and come for a swim" she said smiling.
Frank grinned, chucked the wig and jumped right in.

And the moral to the story, be happy with what you have, because someone will always find you beautiful.
