The Utterly Un-uplifting Story of the Frog and the Bluebird... (but...how cute are these pictures?)

Once upon a time…there was a frog who was a renowned gemnologist and he owned many crystals…

 A bluebird came along and noticed the frog sitting on all his BEAUTIFUL crystals!

The Bluebird flew right up and landed on one of the frog's prettiest gems!

 The IRRITATED frog said...""DO NOT SIT ON MY CRYSTALS UNLESS YOU PLAN TO BUY ONE!"

The Bluebird looked at the Frog and then looked at the crystals and said?...  "Ok...my friend now tell me this ...."Where do you keep the really EXPENSIVE gems?"

 The unsuspecting and trusting Frog whispered his answer in the bluebird's ear so no-one else could hear! Then the bluebird flew away.

The next day, a strange female bird sidled up to the frog's crystal pile.

 She practically went nose to nose with the frog and said..."Hey Frog! Do you perhaps have any expensive clear crystals for sale?"

The mesmerized frog couldn't take his eyes of the lovely girl bird. He found he had an overwhelming urge to kiss her... and she was standing SO close to him!

The frog couldn't concentrate on the bird's question as he was enamored with how cute this bird was! Then, as quickly as she had arrived, she flew away.

The next day his bluebird friend came back and landed right on his head.., the frog couldn't wait to tell his friend the exciting news..."Guess What???", said the frog!  "A beautiful bird came here to talk to me yesterday and I think I'm falling in love with her...!"

The Bluebird jumped down from the frog's head, bent over with laughter and said...

"Sorry to ruin your heart-throb moment Pal...but that 'cute bird' is my sister!  She's a gem thief and SHE DOESN'T DATE FROGS!"

The next morning, the frog realized that all his gems and treasured stones, except for two of his most treasured crystals, had been stolen by the bluebird and his sister.

The frog looked at the bluebird, whom he thought was his friend, and said..."Why didn't you steal my favorite two crystals while you were at it?"
 The blue bird said, "Buddy...you were just too easy and my sister and I felt we had to leave you with something..." 
The frog was left with this lesson...Blue birds are lovely to look at but you can't be completely sure of their motives if they stop to chat with you.

The End.
