Sidney Ransom

Summary

Sidney Ransom The Great Red Frog

He told Omolo where he would find a Magic Sword, and also where the King of the Frogs lived.
Then, after thanking the Owl, they went on again and finally found the King Frog at home; but Omolo was rather surprised to see the Princess taking afternoon tea with him, and not frightened in the least.
When she saw Omolo, she clapped her hands with delight, but before she could say a word, he attacked the King of the Frogs with his Magic Sword and wounded him. Directly the Sword touched the Frog,—
He changed into a splendid King with a Ruby Crown.

Sidney Ransom The Great Red Frog

Thoughtfully leaving the King and the Princess to talk things over, Earl Omolo went out and caught a Robin, changed it into a smart soldier, and sent him off recruiting. Very shortly there were thousands of Robins twittering to be enlisted.
They marched back to the Palace with a large army, and everybody was pleased to see them, except the false King and the Chamberlain, who begged the King to spare their lives, and as he was very happy he did so. But they were justly punished.
