~DON'T BE AN IGNORANT FROG....~
by ~Galactic Love Reporter and First Contact Team Member Predrag Bracanovich~
If you remember the ancient fable of the king frog who like to be bathed every night... Here is my twist of the story and the message...
Once Upon the time, there was a king frog who every night took long baths, always asking for hotter and hotter water.... and they did... His majesty king Frog was demanding and screaming: 'put more wood, more... more...."
And the servants of the king Frog continue dropping more and more wood under the tub.... and they served all of his unreasonable demands and very selfish requests for years and years...
They start wondering how far they have to go to cut the wood for this so selfish and so greedy king... They start wondering for how long this jungle will last: a year or max two, in the speed how he waiting wood and natural resources, only to take very, very hot bath...
Then one-day one new young lad was hired, to bring woods from far, far away, as he was the fastest in the kingdom...
First night he started his new job, he immediately started questioning king and his very luxurious habits, and his very big ignorance toward public wood and tree resources...
He even suggested that king take bath only once a day, and limit only for 4 hours a day... This would cut the waist of the trees by 75% of present usage...
King Frog start yelling and screaming: 'How do you dare to tell me what to do... If I do not like to bath, you would not have this job... Isn't it?... Isn't it?... You go and bring me the biggest pile of the woods you can so I can bath all day long... can you hear me: all day looong......'
And the Boy run, and run, and run... all night and all morning... and He brought the biggest pile of the woods that kingdom ever sow....
And boy was smiling and singing chopping woods and running all night long.... While king was feasting on his Tuesday's 17 dishes mid day meal, watching this young boy running and sweating and singing and smiling.... He was a bit bedazzled with this great enthusiasm, but he took it as that boy want his approval for the comments he did previous night...
So bathing started some time in the evening.... And king frog was so ready to take the longest bath of his life... Simply to prove all the peasants of his kingdom, that his is the big and powerful frog king...
Boy was still smiling and serving him with his all strength... He started with very cold water, and when king frog came in the bath, start screaming: What is wrong with you, Boy... you want me to freeze to death?.... put bigger fire, immediately....'
So, Boy goes along with king frog's order, and start making bigger and bigger fire... Water get hotter and hotter and much hotter that king frog ever experienced in his long and boring life....
All this heat struck king frog and he start to dropping in very sleepy state... he start hallucinating that Boy is still smiling bringing more and more wood under his tub...
After full 7 days of bathing in boiling waters, there only the crown left on the bottom of the tub... Even the gold on the crown lost its diamonds from the heat....
So, the Boy took the crown walk out on the balcony and announced:
'Today is a brand new day... Today is Friday October 28, and I am here to give you our king frog's final orders and decrees...
- first: you do not have to pay any taxes to the kingdom....
- second: you will be given equal part of the kingdom....
- third: all your debts and owing to kingdom are forgiven...
- fourth: You do not have to pay in to church any longer, to be forgive the sins they don't exist... He forgave you all the sins...
- fifth: king Frog was asking you forgiveness, all of you, and all the nature that he destroyed and devalued for his selfish wants...
- Sixth: All the food and luxuries that king had, is freely distributed to all the souls here in the kingdom...
- seventh: If anyone have an urge to rule this kingdom and its people, please step forward and accept this crown... and I will make you the most luxurious bath ever experienced....
King Frog was written in the history books as 'one who boiled him self to death, on his own request'.....
