Yurtle the Turtle- Dr. Seuss

Yurtle is king of the pond and doesn't like the stone which is his throne. He makes his subjects climb on each others backs even though its hard to stack turtles. The bottom turtle is in a lot of pain and ends up having enough of Yurtles ways and burps throwing all the turtles off into the muck, leaving Yurtle king of the mud. Yurtle is a blue little turtle who loves being king. He wants to be up high for everybody to see him he wants to be even higher than the moon. Yurtle is now king of the mud.
