They splashed and swam and trilled and croaked, and would have gone on living as comfortably as Frogs can live, if somebody had not suggested that they ought to have a King. So they asked Jupiter to send them a King. And Jupiter threw down a great Log, that fell kerplunk! into the swamp and frightened the frogs out of their wits. By and by they ventured forth and began to examine their King. One swam around the Log, one hopped on it, and finally one old Frog gave out his opinion that their King was only an Old Log, and not a real King at all. So they asked Jupiter again to send them a King. And Jupiter sent them a Stork. And when they saw the Stork standing on his great legs by the swamp, they said, "Now indeed we have a King!" And they went up to pay their respects. As they came up, the old Frog leading, the Stork looked down, stretched out his neck, and gobbled him down, and many a one after him. "Yes," said the Stork, comfortably, "Now you have a King indeed!" (6) III. Oral Composition.-I. (1) Describe a swamp. (2) Describe how frogs live.
