Summary
In a sun-dappled marsh where croaks once drifted like lazy polyphonic madrigals, a parliament of frogs grows weary of its own reflection. Tedium, that most democratic tyrant, gnaws at their collective spirit until they petition the heavens for a sovereign to stir the stagnant reeds of destiny. From a cumulonimbus pulpit the Divine Artificer, visibly vexed by such civic flippancy, hurls down a splintered log—an unresponsive regent of lignified silence. The amphibians, crestfallen by this wooden idol, escalate their clamor, beseeching again for a ruler with sinew and volition. Heaven’s patience thins; a stork—ivory-feathered, saurian-eyed—descends, embodying both throne and executioner. In the blood-churned aftermath of this ornithocratic purge, the survivors, chastened and wiser, rescind their plea, left to contemplate the terrifying elasticity of their own desire.
Synopsis
The frogs are bored with their lot, and ask God to give them a king - but God, irritated with their inability to govern themselves, quickly makes them change their minds.
