The Frogs who wished for a King - Summary and Analysis | Aesop Fables

This fable tells us the story of some frogs who lived in a pond. Those frogs had the freedom to do whatever they pleased and had no ruler to order them around. But the fable tells us that all this freedom had spoiled them, so much so that they began asking from Jupiter for a king that would rule them as they deserved. With pomp and show and the right display of royalty.  Jupiter heard their pleas and to please them and keep them quiet he threw down the pond a huge log, which fell into the water with a great splash.

The Bat & The Weasels - Summary and Analysis | Aesop Fables

  The fable: A Bat blundered into the nest of a Weasel, who ran up to catch and eat him. The Bat begged for his life, but the Weasel would not listen. "You are a Mouse," he said, "and I am a sworn enemy of Mice. Every Mouse I catch, I am going to eat!" "But I am not a Mouse!" cried the Bat. "Look at my wings. Can Mice fly? Why, I am only a Bird! Please let me go!" The Weasel had to admit that the Bat was not a Mouse, so he let him go. But a few days later, the foolish Bat went blindly into the nest of another Weasel. This Weasel happened to be a bitter enemy of Birds, and he soon had the Bat under his claws, ready to eat him. "You are a Bird," he said, "and I am going to eat you!" "What," cried the Bat, "I, a Bird! Why, all Birds have feathers! I am nothing but a Mouse. 'Down with all Cats,' is my motto!" And so the Bat escaped with his life a second time. The moral of this story is that " It i
