Talking Frog

Father O'Malley was strolling through the church grounds one sunny summer evening, when he came upon a little frog sitting by a tree.

'My Lord,' he said picking it up:

'You're the saddest, most forlorn-looking frog I've ever seen.

I only wish you could speak, so that you might tell me your troubles.'

The frog replied, 'Actually, I can.

One day I offended a passing gypsy, and she put a curse on me that turned me into a talking frog.'

'Incredible!' said Father O'Malley.

'Is there anything I might do to help you?'.

'Actually yes , there is.

' Well,' said Father O'Malley, ' the good Lord teaches us to be charitable.

I think I can manage that.'
