Pond Hopping

                                        

When she found her prince charming, she didn’t expect him to be as green, nor as short. The crown he wore attracted her; gold and shining star that it was! Before she took the leap, he told her, "You need to make a splash, you need to throw in your hat!"

Second thoughts crossed her mind, she noted in an instant that even though they sat the same, had the same sad-like-smile, and off to the side regard…her black and white crown couldn’t be bought at Walmart!

They remain friends, and never saw eye-to-eye.
