Loose translation by NYB:

Long ago in the land of the frogs there was no leader. Everyone did as they pleased.
They started begging and pleading saying: “Please God give us a leader of our own.”
And because God answers prayers He sent them a (rather weird) king – they were given a block of dry wood (log) and told to praise it as their god.

In Kenya (today) we have a block of wood. We have a block of wood that doesn’t speak.
Even if its pushed around, (like a mutura) it never utters a word. This is a block of wood.

The frogs started praising the thing - happy that God had answered their prayers. They fondly called it Your Majesty King, bowing in respect.
They said this thing is great even though it doesn’t speak it’s still the best. They knelt in front of it, speaking in tongues praising the block of wood.

After a while the frogs realized the thing was not helping them in any way. They started regretting and complaining to God for giving them a block of wood. They started dancing on top of it, realizing the thing never moved they complained: “God, what is this damn thing you gave us? We were better of without a leader.”

Upset, God sent them a hammerhead stork. The frogs sang and danced in joy for having a leader who could walk and talk. Little did they know that their day was about turn into a night. Because the hammerhead stork feeds on frogs, he started eating them one by one. Soon the frogs realized this was no laughing matter. Better the block of wood, even if dumb, at least we weren’t being eaten.
