Hop Frog

Hop Frog is a story about two jesters and a king that abuses his power. The king, because he likes jokes a little too much takes two dwarfs and makes them his jesters. He is very abusive toward the jesters because he gets his fun from abusing them and messing with them. One of the things the king does is make the jester drink, which the jester doesn't like but the king makes him do it anyway. At the end of the story Hop Frog becomes fed up with the constant torture and gets the last laugh by setting the king on fire, ultimately killing him.
