Summary

Now ponder well, you parents deare,
These wordes which I shall write;
A doleful story you shall heare,
In time brought forth to light.

A gentleman of good account
In Norfolke dwelt of late.
Who did in honour far surmount
Most men of his estate.

Sore sicke he was, and like to dye,
No helpe his life could save;
His wife by him as sicke did lye,
And both possest one grave.

No love between these two was lost,
Each was to other kinde;
In love they liv'd, in love they dyed,
And left two babes behinde:

The one a fine and pretty boy,
Not passing three yeares olde;
The other a girl more young than he
And fram'd in beautye's molde.

    Hop-Frog is Edgar Allan Poe’s macabre tale of cruelty, revenge, and fiery justice — a gothic masterpiece of poetic irony and horror. 
In the grotesque court of a sadistic king, Hop-Frog, a crippled dwarf and court jester, endures humiliation and torment. Forced to entertain a court that mocks his deformity and his friend Trippetta, Hop-Frog endures indignity after indignity — until he conceives a terrifying plan to turn the tables in a final performance none will ever forget. 
With its themes of vengeance, madness, and poetic justice, Hop-Frog delivers the chilling beauty of Poe’s dark imagination. A short story with lasting impact, it is perfect for fans of horror, gothic literature, and morally complex tales of retribution.

    'The Cat that Walked by Himself' is one of the most well-loved of Kipling's Just So Stories.
This is a story about a cat who liked to walk wherever he wanted. Everything happened at those times when the animals were wild. They lived separately from people. The man was also wild. But he met the woman. She found a nice dry cave and made it their house. They were happy there. One evening the wild dog came to the cave. The woman promised the dog tasty bones for guarding her cave. Later the wild cow and the wild horse also came. She promised fresh grass to the cow and the horse for fresh milk and help with the housework. The cat watched it. He also wanted to be near fire and drink warm milk. Still the cat wanted to walk by himself as usual. The woman did not need such an animal. She needed useful animals. So she made a bargain with the cat.
