But, thankfully, it was the Princess who croaked soon thereafter, leaving Prince Toad free to search for a fresh new Princess with whom to begin the cycle anew!
It’d be swell if people didn’t bash each other with gross, over used but false stereotypes that hurt and demean. There’s enough nasty reality these days without trying harder and harder to piss people off with stereotypes.
It is said that on their wedding day, the husband looks at his bride and hopes she will never change. And the wife looks at her groom and hopes that she can change him. It turns out they are both wrong.
While the handsome prince devolved into the ugly troll that lived under the bridge, the princess became an aged-obsessed spendthrift, undergoing needless plastic surgeries and botox treatments, and endless sessions at beauty spas.
I had an artist friend who painted my garage door (to my design) with a robed wizard wielding a wand. The inscription read “Parking space protected by wizardry. Your car may be toad.”
An old man walking along a road comes across a frog. The frog says, “Excuse me sir, I’m actually a beautiful princess who has been cursed and if you will kiss me and break the curse I will be forever grateful.” The old man replies, “M’Lady, forgive me, but I’m 96 years old. Frankly, I’d rather have a talking frog.”
Yeah, you’ve heard it before, but it’s still funny! :D

Yes, the Tales as they were Originally written were much Grittier and true to life.
A Lot of the original characters Died ugly deaths and the “Princesses” never got a chance to say “Hell No!” to the “Prince”.
