A talking frog

An older gentleman was playing a round of golf.
Suddenly his ball sliced (went to the side, not straight) and landed in a shallow pond (water that is not deep). As he was attempting (trying) to retrieve (find again) the ball he discovered a frog who, to his great surprise, started to speak! "Kiss me, and I will change into a beautiful princess, and I will be yours for a week." He picked up the frog and placed (put) it in his pocket. As he continued to play golf, the frog repeated its message. "Kiss me, and I will change into a beautiful princess, and I will be yours for a whole month!" The man continued to play his golf game and once again the frog spoke out. "Kiss me,and I will change into a beautiful princess, and I will be yours for a whole year!" Finally, the old man turned to the frog and exclaimed, "At my age, I'd rather (I prefer, I will choose) have a talking frog!"
