A frog named Joe...

Once upon a time, there was a frog named Joe. Joe was an unusual frog in that he thought he was a snake. Joe would slide around on his big fat belly and try to swallow his friends whole. "What are you doing?" Joe's friends would often say. "Ib twybing tu eet yuu", Joe would say with a mouth full of frogs legs, "Ab-f-tu awwl I am uh sdnake".

At first, Joe's actions were an amusing oddity. Eventually though, people began to become a little perturbed. "We do not like that Joe often times tries to eat us", they would complain. "It's pretty disgusting and we get slobber all over us. Besides, everyone knows that it's physically impossible for Joe to eat us due to the mouth to body ratio."

One day, Joe went to visit the snakes in their snake den. As most of you know, this was most likely one of the worst ideas Joe ever had as frogs are the main diet of snakes. Joe did not know this though and thought that it would be nice to acquaint himself with some more people like himself.

Joe slithered his big fat belly down into the hole of the snakes, who were cooling themselves in the afternoon sun. This was quite a suprise to the snakes and they faced a moral dilema, "Should we eat him now, or should we eat him later?", they asked. Some thought that it was such an anomily that they felt it would make for a good laugh to keep Joe around.

The snakes held a hasty council and decided that this was just what they were going to do. They decided to keep Joe around for laughs, and if food became scarce, well, you know the rest.

The end.
