    One fine Summer morning a priest was taking his customary walk through
    his local woods. He took a path less traveled and coming to a wide but shallow stream, he paused awhile on the stream bank to ascertain the
    best route to cross and to appreciate the peace and quiet of God’s creation.

    As he stood there in quiet contemplation, he heard a voice say;”Good morning Father.”

    the Priest looked around but saw no one.

    Again the voice said; Good morning Father, look down here and you’ll see me.”

    the Priest looked down and all he saw was a large, but otherwise unremarkable, frog. Feeling rather foolish and glancing round quickly to
    see if anyone was near, the priest said to the frog, “Excuse me Mr.
    Frog, but did you speak?”

    ”indeed I did.” Said the frog. “But though you see me as this loathsome creature, I am in fact a prince of this realm who has had a foul spell
    cast upon me by a wicked witch! The spell can only be broken by someone
    who shows me great kindness!”

    So, the priest, being a kindly man, picked up the frog and took it home
    with him. That night, the priest tucked the frog up in his own bed with
    a glass of warm milk to comfort the creature and all through the night
    they slept together in cosy comfort.

    Next morning, when the housekeeper awakened the priest with his early
    morning cup of tea: lo and behold, there in the bed with the priest was
    a handsome blue eyed boy!

    And that, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is the case for the defense!

    Hahahahahaha...
