The Bullwinkle Show - Season 2 - Eps 17: Aesop and Son - The Frogs and the Beaver
Aesop recounts the tale of the Frogs who wish for a king and are granted a beaver as their ruler. Initially excited, the Frogs soon find the beaver to be a rather unresponsive and lazy leader. As they complain about their new king, Aesop’s son questions the wisdom of their choice, leading to a humorous discussion about the consequences of wishing for something without considering what it truly entails. The fable delivers a playful lesson about leadership and the importance of being careful what you wish for.
