A single mother of two had the shock of her life when a frog sprung up from a tin of baked beans.

When it comes to food we all want it clean and free of any impurities. For one woman residing in the East Midlands, UK she had the shock of her life when she opened up a tin of beans and a frog leaped out.

Michelle Burnett, aged 31 and single with two girls, says she was preparing a typical British Sausage, Mash and Beans dinner for her two children aged 4 and 8. “I decided I would make my girls a simple dinner”, the woman said. “I prepared as usual and took out a tin of beans from the cupboard and started to open them.”

Shock

What happened next was beyond belief. Miss Burnett recoiled back in horror as a LIVE FROG jumped up from the tin and started to hop across her work surface.

“I screamed and was covered in bean sauce”, the woman claims. “This frog started hopping about on my work surfaces and then took refuge in the plant in the window”, she goes on to say. “My daughters found it hysterical and wanted to keep it as a pet.”

Hopping Mad

Still Michelle says she was very angry. “I was appalled that a frog could find its way into a tin of beans. I mean, how did it survive?”

Suffice to say Miss Burnett started out making a fresh dinner. “I had to start all over again. I wish I had just gone down to the chip shop”, she croaked.

Animal Expert Professor Aaron Rib-bet couldn’t explain how or why the frog managed to take refuge in a tin of sealed beans. “It is a mystery. Most frogs wouldn’t entertain your tin of beans. Maybe they have developed a taste for the British bean?”

In any event what Michelle Burnett does know is she won’t be hopping along to her local supermarket in a hurry.
