The frogs have a democracy, but they beseech Jupiter to send them a king. Jupiter can hardly believe this amphibian foolishness, so he sends them a tree as king. The frogs make obeisance to their new monarch, but they are dissatisfied and petition Jupiter again.

Viewing Notes
Third short from the Wladyslaw Starewicz Collection on Instawatch and a little more creepy with the frog empire. Interesting political commentary or at least the method of presenting this satire. My least favorite of the lot so far but still very good.
