Yertle the Turtle

• With this stone for a throne, I look down on my
  pondBut I cannot look down on the places
  beyond.This throne that I sit on is too, too low
  down.It ought to be higher!" he said with a
  frown."If I could sit high, how much greater I'd
  be!What a king! I'd be ruler of all that I see!"

  he piled them all up in a nine-turtle stack.And
  then Yertle climbed up. He sat down on the
  pile.What a wonderful view! He could see 'most a
