***french around a lake

Why in the whole world can�t we say �will can�!! Can somebody explain it to me? We always want to say that in French, and so we always have to beat to windward, to maneuver like crazy, or just to go around the whole lake to reach the point� on foot.

I really don�t see how we got there�
When people decided to invent the word �will�, they got together, and the innovator said �and now, ladies and g, we will use �will� to speak of the future� this is a new tense� you just put it before any verbs, and that�ll make it! See? I already use it! Useful, huh? Thanks for your attention. Have a nice day.� And they just started to use it all the time, all excited� and the first one who said �we will can��, Satan himself must have appeared: �Nop! Not this one! Not with �can�! This one is mine!�
They might have tried �we will be able to�� Satan to appear again �no-nop! Mine! Mine!�
-�But Satan, please, let us this one at least!�
Satan said:
-�Ok� but I�ll change the color of an animal then�
And since then, some frogs appeared with strange colors, some bright green, some yellow, red� when before they were just dark brown.
Might have been something like that I guess.
Unless they just sold it to Satan. This one.

�I will can�� I really don�t see what�s the bug� Hey! Just let�s say we can use it now, k? ok? Who�s on?

before:

 

after Satan:

 

 

Yeah, but i'm sure they're happy and all... still.
