Hop Frog
This story was really good and was seen as a revenge tale because the king and his men treated him so poorly because he had a bad gait and he still stood his ground. Hop Frog had a plan of his own when he tells them to dress up as chained orangutans to the masquerade and sets them on fire. The narrator constantly criticizes the barbarous king and his men with their manners treating the jester and the woman. "I am Hop-Frog, the jester, and this is my last jest." This was my favorite quote from the story after he killed the king and his men. This reminds me of an underdog story that is common in many stories and movies and how the little weak abused comes out on top like in David and Goliath.
