  1. Jupiter issued a proclamation to all the beasts of the forest and promised a
  2. royal reward to the one whose offspring should be deemed the handsomest.
  3. The Monkey came with the rest and presented, with all a mother’s
  4. tenderness, a flat-nosed, hairless, ill-featured young Monkey as a candidate
  5. for the promised reward. A general laugh saluted her on the presentation of
  6. her son. She resolutely said, “I know not whether Jupiter will allot the prize
  7. to my son, but this I do know, that he is at least in the eyes of me his
  8. mother, the dearest, handsomest, and most beautiful of all.”
