A man was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said:"If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess."
He bent over, picked up the frog, and put it in his pocket.
The frog spoke up again and said: "If you kiss me and turn me back into abeautiful princess, I will tell everyone how smart and brave you are andhow you are my hero."
The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and returned it tohis pocket.
The frog spoke up again and said: "If you kiss me and turn me back into abeautiful princess, I will be your loving companion for an entire week."
The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and returned it tohis pocket. The frog then cried out: "If you kiss me and turn me backinto a princess, I'll stay with you for a year and do ANYTHING you want."
Again the man took the frog out, smiled at it, and put it back into hispocket.
Finally, the frog asked: "What is the matter? I've told you I'm abeautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a year and do anythingyou want. Why won't you kiss me?"
The man said: "Look, I'm a computer programmer. I don't have time for agirlfriend, but a talking frog is cool."

ای دل چه اندیشیده​ای در عذر آن تقصیرها - زان سوی او چندان وفا زین سوی تو چندین جفاز

زان سوي او چندان كرم زين سو خلاف و بيش و كم - زان سوي او چندان نعم زين سوي تو چندين خطا

زين سوي تو چندين حسد چندين خيال و ظن بد - زان سوي او چندان كشش چندان چشش چندان عطا

چندين چشش از بهر چه تا جان تلخت خوش شود - چندين كشش از بهر چه تا در رسي در اوليا
