Even Frogs Marry!



Once there was a frog, his parents were looking for a suitable match for him. In the process they posted an ad for him on the matrimonial site. 

The ad went like this:

Groom Profile:
Our son is a rare species and is an excellent hunter and doesn't let go any prey from his clutch, the female would never have to hunt for prey. We have our own family pond surrounded by beautiful plants and two our very own trees, which we have rented to crows. The rent is enough for all us to survive. The prospect is our eldest son and works in a Multinational museum where he gets free stay and free food. The groom will take the bride with him to the museum. The groom is well qualified; he has done Bachelors in Frogology from the Institute of Frogology , Germany. He is very athletic.

Bride’s Profile:
The girl should be beautiful .She should be ready to settle abroad as our son plans to apply for a job in New York City. She should be well versed with the frog ways. She should have a strong family background. We will prefer a bride who can change colors as per her surroundings, a perfect mix of modernity and ethnicity.

So this was the matrimonial ad that the parents gave for the groom, and as expected they got a lot of reverts, and finally they shortlisted one. All were pretty excited. The meeting was set to happen. The frog was all set to meet his future bride. The venue was finalized for the meeting; it was an exquisite pond in the city’s biggest mall. Both the families gathered at the venue, the boy was dressed plainly in a hat and the girl too was simply dressed. They both jumped aside after taking the permission of their elders. They chatted for half an hour, the topic that struck was their food preferences. The frog was amazed when he found that their likes and dislikes are same. The families also liked each other and they fixed their marriage. The marriage was fixed to happen in the monsoon.

The day finally came. The arrangements were all made. The venue was the musical fountain in the temple-cum-museum. It was a perfect venue which the bride and groom had themselves finalized for their wedding. The bride’s parents were hesitant first as the cost involved was high but they agreed as she was the only daughter among ten sons.

They were around 100 guests gathered around the fountain to watch the couple. The guest was served with the crickets, which they enjoyed a lot. Every frog was talking about the beautiful arrangements. The ceremonies were performed and they were declared husband and wife. They both jumped together to take the blessings of their elders.

And then they both lived happily ever after.
