It’s Froggie time!

for Friday Fictioneers.

I was in the library looking for something to read.   Spotting a book I fancied, I took hold of it, but wouldn’t move.   I pulled, it pulled back!  I heaved. It heaved.  Suddenly it stopped resisting and I flew backward, landing the floor.

I peered under the bottom shelf and spotted a pretty pair of ankles.  I clambered to my feet, straightened my glasses and peeped through the gap on the shelf.  Looking back at me were the sweetest blue eyes I’d ever seen.  ‘Hello, I’m Paige’ said a cute little voice. 

We agreed to share the book and so started a new chapter in our lives.

Prod the frog to join in the fun!

    Oh Keith,

    This story (and the frog) are both adorable. I can’t help thinking of the old Hollies song “Bus Stop” but instead of sharing an umbrella these two are sharing a book. Love it.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    Who needs a book, when you have Paige? May be Paige will read the book to you, if you are nice!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings September 13, 2019 / 22:32

    Lovely and true. the library is full of romance and adventure – lucky he wasn’t in the horror section.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings September 13, 2019 / 22:36

      Good point! Fortunately he was in the most appropriate aisle! Cheers James

    Well, the mystery was solved in a most romantic way. I loved this story, Keith. I also love the bookworm frog. He seems to have brought some romance flies with him for a snack. 🙂 — Suzanne

      Thanks so much for you generous words Suzanne, much appreciated.

    Just wonderful! A quirky encounter that led to an astonishing future of contentment! This is one fall which would forever be etched in the mind of the ‘fallen!’

    What a great way to meet your soulmate. Over a tug of war on your favourite book. Now that’s common interest.

    Aw, Keith! Your sweeter side is showing 🙂 Great story.
