Bettering the community, and not yourself

In the story the frog and their king, the frogs are selfish, and only think about what they, themselves want. They never consider that by having a ruler they would be making other frogs unhappy, or would be affecting Jupiter by asking him. This story shows that because of selfishness, and stupidity, the frogs got what they deserved (being eaten alive by a stork). Aesop was clever in making this part of the moral, because it shows readers what not to do, therefore giving good advice. An example of Aesop's moral in modern day life could be, because a man wanted to get to work quickly, and drive fast, he crashed into another car, potentially killing or injuring someone in the process.
