The Story of the Bald Frog with the Wig

I spontaneously wrote this on Blogger's "About Me" page, never considering it might be worthy of an actual blog post. Not that this blog will ever truly be an active, ongoing concern, but maybe over a decade or two I shall amass posts of interest.

The children are waiting! Please tell them the story about the bald frog with the wig.
