The Foolish Frogs
The frogs in a pond decided they needed a strong king to look after them.
"Send us someone big!" they croaked all day and all night.
So a large stork came to live by their pond, tall and grand and very impressive.
The frogs were delighted for about one day.
Then they noticed that their new king was extremely fond of frogs for breakfast.
They had asked for size when they should have asked for kindness.
Ask for what is good for you, not just for what looks grand.
