A jumping contest between a flea, a grasshopper and a leap-frog for the hand of a princess leads to some interesting perspectives on life. The fact this is a classic from Hans Christian Andersen doesn't hurt. Narrated by Glenn Hascall.

A Flea, a Grasshopper, and a Leap-Frog once wanted to see which could jump highest; and they invited the whole world, and everybody else besides who chose to come to see the festival. Three famous jumpers were they, as everyone would say, when they all met together in the room.

In The Leap-Frog, a flea, a grasshopper, and a frog arrange a contest to see who can jump highest. The King offers the hand of the princess to the victor. The flea and the grasshopper, victims of their own vanity and ambition, are matched against the patient, wise and humble frog. The short tale is a fable about the perils of high self-regard.
