The Frogs Who Desired a King
(詳細はAesop's Fables and numbered 44 in the Perry Index.〔 Throughout its history, the story has been given a political application.
== The fable ==
According to the earliest source, Phaedrus, the story concerns a group of frogs who called on the great god Zeus to send them a king. He threw down a log, which fell in their pond with a loud splash and terrified them. Eventually one of the frogs peeped above the water and, seeing that it was no longer moving, soon all hopped upon it and made fun of their king.
Then the frogs made a second request for a real king and were sent a water snake that started eating them. Once more the frogs appealed to Zeus, but this time he replied that they must face the consequences of their request.
In later variations of the story, the water snake is often replaced with a stork or heron.
