wish granted

Edmund Froen was a conceded,self-centered man.Out of the whole town he cared only of himself, and was constantly trying to make himself better.One day he decided to employ the help of The Bottle Lady,a mysterious old lady who had the ability to grant wishes in return for a seemingly normal object.She said to him "In two days time,bring me the skull of a long dead turtle".And off he went.

He went looking in a swamp on the outskirts of town. After some time,he found what he thought was a turtle skeleton. Now,he wasnt very well educated and didnt know exactly what a turtle skeleton looked like,but he knew the general shape. So he took the skull of what,in truth, was a toad...

The Bottle Lady was not pleased.She said "your wish is now granted". At that he became very tired and fell asleep.When he awoke,he found he had changed.He now looked like a large,demonic toad, with horns above his eyes and a long feathered tail."You are now better... for everyone else"she said with a cackle.And she thought to herself,"What a lovely pet".
