<h2>JUPITER AND THE MONKEY</h2>
<br/>
<p>Jupiter issued a proclamation to all the beasts, and offered a
prize to the one who, in his judgment, produced the most beautiful
offspring. Among the rest came the Monkey, carrying a baby monkey
in her arms, a hairless, flat-nosed little fright. When they saw
it, the gods all burst into peal on peal of laughter; but the
Monkey hugged her little one to her, and said, "Jupiter may give
the prize to whomsoever he likes: but I shall always think my baby
the most beautiful of them all."</p>
