1 King Stork
"король Аист", тиран, деспот [из басни Эзопа о лягушках, выбиравших себе короля]; см. тж. King Log‘You promise to be as great a tyrant as Clun in your editorial supervision,’ he said laughing. ‘I suspect we've avoided King Stork to be landed with King Stork.’ (A. Wilson, ‘Anglo-Saxon Attitudes’, part II, ch. I) — - что до передовых статей, вы, кажется, будете в этом отношении таким же тираном, как Клан до вас, - усмехнувшись, сказал Джаспер. - я подозреваю, что редакционные лягушки сменили одного короля Аиста на другого.

2 King Log
"король чурбан", рохля, тюфяк (о человеке пассивном, не умеющем использовать представившиеся ему возможности); см. тж. King Stork...what pleases other people, will always please me. Only I wish we have not got King Stork instead of King Log, like the fablian [= fable] that the Clerk of Saint Lambert's used to read us out of Meister's Esop's book. (W. Scott, ‘Quentin Durward’, ch. XXI) —...я всегда доволен, когда другие довольны. А только у меня нет никакого желания променять короля чурбана на короля Аиста, подобно лягушкам из басни, которую причетник святого Ламберта читал нам, бывало, из книги Эзопа.
Into that somewhat cold-waterish region adventurers of the sensational kind come down now and then with a splash, to become disregarded King Logs before the next session. (J. R. Lowell, ‘My Study Windows’, ‘emerson the Lecturer’) — чтение лекций - дело непростое, чреватое всякими неожиданностями. Иной раз вдруг появится блестящий оратор, выступит с циклом сенсационных лекций. А к началу нового сезона о нем уже никто не помнит.
