Red
by Jessie K
Red is a short fairy tale about a boy who finds love in his back yard. Red is a frog that the boy kisses and becomes a beautiful woman. The girl he has been dreaming of since he left his house for school.Red is a story like that of the princess and the frog, but it's the boy and his frog. The man who lives through this fairy tale is telling the story. He grew up with two special friends, his dog, Puppy, and his frog, Red. He called the frog Red because he put a red line on its back so he could tell it apart from all the others. Red lived in the pond in the boys back yard. When the boy grows up and goes off to college he dreams about a beautiful woman with long red hair. He becomes obsessed with finding her, but never does. Until he comes home from school on break and finds his dream girl by the pond in his back yard. Of course after he kisses the frog.
