青蛙想要一个国王
The Frog Asking For a King
青蛙请求朱庇特赐给他们一个国王。朱庇特给了青蛙一根木头，青蛙不满意。朱庇特就给他们一条鳗鱼。青蛙见朱庇特好说话，就两次要求换国王，朱庇特生气了，就让鹭鸶当青蛙的国王，结果鹭鸶把所有的青蛙都吃了。
The Frogs, grieved at having no established Ruler, sent ambassabors to Jupiter entreating for a King. Perceiving their simplicity, he 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 climbed up, began to think themselves ill-treated in the appointment of so inert a Ruler, and sent a second deputation to Jupiter an Eel to govern them. When beg him to choose for them still another King. Jupiter, displeased with all complaints, sent a Heron, who preyed upon the frogs day by day till were none left to croak upon the late.
