The Leap-Frog begins not with fanfare, but with the quiet presence of a contender who surprises everyone by saying very little. A challenge is announced by a king who offers his daughter’s hand to whichever creature can leap the highest.

The boy, guided by a feeling he didn’t fully understand, gifted one of his pewter soldiers to the old man, hoping it would cheer him. The gift, though small, bridged their separate…-
