Title
King Log and King Stork, illustrated page from 'Baby's Own Aesop'
Description
A stork, wearing a necklace and crown, stands by the water's edge with a frog in its beak. A crowd of frogs protest, and out in the water a log lies beside lily pads, while Jove looks down on the scene from the sky. A hand holds an open scroll with the following rhyme:
"King Log and King Stork

The frogs prayed to Jove for a king:
"Not a log, but a livelier thing."
Jove sent them a Stork,
Who did royal work,
For he gobbled them up, did their king.

Don't have kings"
