The Frogs Desiring a King

The Frogs Desiring a King

The Frogs were living as happy as could be in a marshy swamp that just suited them. They went splashing about caring for nobody and nobody troubling with them. But some of them thought that this was not right, that they should have a king and a proper constitution, so they determined to send up a petition to Jove to give them what they wanted. “Mighty Jove,” they cried, “send unto us a king that will rule over us and keep us in order.” Jove laughed at their croaking and threw down into the swamp a huge Log, which came down splash to the swamp. The Frogs were frightened out of their lives by the commotion made in their midst, and all rushed to the bank to look at the horrible monster; but after a time, seeing that it did not move, one or two of the boldest of them ventured out towards the Log, and even dared to touch it, still it did not move. Then the greatest hero of the Frogs jumped upon the Log and commenced dancing up and down upon it, thereupon all the Frogs came and did the same, and for some time the Frogs went about their business every day without taking the slightest notice of their new King Log lying in their midst. But this did not suit them, so they sent another petition to Jove, and said to him. “We want a real king, one that will really rule over us.” Now this made Jove angry, so he sent among them a big Stork that soon set to work gobbling them all up. Then the 16 Aesop’s Fables Frogs repented when too late. Better no rule than cruel rule

Real Personal Service

Real Personal Service On our last visit to London my wife and I stayed at the Magna Hotel. The Magna used to be a favorite hotel of ours but we had not stayed there for over sixteen years. The hotel is famous for its service and we were not disappointed. "The porter will show you to your room," the receptionist said with a smile and we were shown to a room on the first floor. "This is our favorite room," I exclaimed. "I know sir," the porter said. "Yours is the room with a view, isn't it?" "That's right," I said. "You like milk in your tea in the morning and madam prefers lemon in hers." "That's right," my wife said. She pulled me by the sleeve with pleasure when the porter had gone.
