The Story of The Frog & Lily Paperweight
Our Limited Edition Frog and Lily Paperweight
A frog outgrew his lily pad and decided to make some home improvements. He didn’t have the money, so he hopped to the bank for a loan. At the bank, he took a seat at loan officer Patricia Black’s desk and explained his dilemma. “I want to upgrade my lily pad, maybe add another window, but I don’t have the cash. Can you lend me the money?”
“Maybe,” she said. “What can you offer as collateral?” “Well,” said the frog. “All I have is this paperweight. You shake it up, and it snows on the little village. Cute, huh?” “Hmm . . . I’ll have to speak to my manager.” She enters her manager’s office.
“Mr. Bitterby, I’ve got a frog at my desk who wants to borrow money for lily pad improvements. But all he can offer for collateral is this glass paperweight.” Mr. Bitterby took the paperweight, looked it over, and said, “It’s a knick-knack, Patty Black, give the frog a loan.”
