Tables Turned

Sometimes when things are wrong, drastic measures have to be taken to put them right. This is what happened when the frogs became far too noisy and quarrelsome.

A King for the Frogs is a magazine story inspired by The Lion King. It was published in the 1990s as part of the Rafiki Remembers series.

Synopsis[]

An unruly group of frogs inhabited a lake in Africa, where they made a tremendous din every night. Eventually, a wise old frog called a meeting and proposed that they appoint a king to rule over them so that they could have peace and order. With the blessing of his fellow frogs, the wise old frog appealed to one of the gods for help, and the god, in turn, threw a rock into the middle of the lake.

At first, the frogs regarded their king with deference and mysticism. However, when it became apparent that the king never moved or spoke, a younger frog dared to touch it and revealed it to be nothing more than a rock. As the frogs picked up their noisy habits once more, the wise old frog begged the god for another solution, and he acquiesced. This time, he sent a crocodile to the lake, and the frogs learned to keep quiet and still in his presence. From then on, the lake was a place of peace.
