The Frog who dreamed of being a King
This one is very popular, probably my best seller. It's a funny little zen fable about a frog who isn't happy with who he is, and what happens to him when he tries to change the conditions of his nature.
Here's an excerpt from The Frog...
"When I look down,
I can see birds down there,
I must be a king now,
This high up in the air."
But then he felt cold,
From a westerly breeze,
And said, "Sheesh, it's freezin',
Way up high in these trees!
"Why, what would I do,
If it started to snow?"
Then the frog heard a voice,
From a branch below.
A squirrel said, "What 'cha doin',
Way up in our tree,
And just who the heck are you?
C'mon, answer me!"
Then the frog puffed his chest,
Like a proud little thing,
And said, "I am a frog,
And I am your king!"
