The Frog - Paperback
by Ruy Burgos-Lovece (Author)
"ACTUALLY, the greatest advantage of being a frog is that you don't know you are a frog. I'm a frog but, for some weird reason, I know I'm a frog. The only way I can explain my strange condition is that I was a man in a former life and that I have come back to the world as a frog. I always thought reincarnation made no sense because people didn't remember what they had been in their former lives. Reincarnation experts tell me that it's not the person but the soul that comes back." -from THE FROG
