THE FROGS, grieved at having no established Ruler, sent
ambassadors to Jupiter entreating for a King.
Perceiving their
simplicity, he cast down a huge log into the lake.
The Frogs
were terrified at the splash occasioned by its fall and hid
themselves in the depths of the pool.
But as soon as they
realized that the huge log was motionless, they swam again to the
top of the water, dismissed their fears, climbed up, and began
squatting on it in contempt.
After some time they began to think
themselves ill-treated in the appointment of so inert a Ruler,
and sent a second deputation to Jupiter to pray that he would set
over them another sovereign.
He then gave them an Eel to govern
them.
When the Frogs discovered his easy good nature, they sent
yet a third time to Jupiter to beg him to choose for them still
another King.
Jupiter, displeased with all their complaints,
sent a Heron, who preyed upon the Frogs day by day till there
were none left to croak upon the lake.
