The Princess of Pout

A long, long time ago, there was a Princess Maria who was spoiled, whenever she didn't get her way she pouted until her lips protruded as if asking to be kissed, her ladies-in-waiting called her the Princess of Pout, a young royal who thought of nothing but herself. One day, while visiting her rose garden, a frog jumped upon her shoulder, with protruding green lips he asked for a kiss, irritated, she brushed him off with her hand, how dare that ugly frog ask for such a thing, she being a princess of royalty would never kiss someone beneath her, especially a frog. The horrendous idea made her lips protrude more, her nose wrinkled until all her nose hairs shown, glancing at her reflection pool she noticed a tall and handsome knight in shiny green armor standing next to her smiling away with protruding lips, was this her prince charming waiting to be kissed? Without a thought she turned to him and gave him a kiss which lasted a lifetime and forevermore, as the centuries moved on, the rose garden and reflection pool stayed the same except for a stone statue of a young woman kissing a frog which she holds in her hand with pouting lips, protruding slightly.
