initial commit, empty annotations

jupiter issued a proclamation to all the beasts of the forest and promised a royal reward to the one whose offspring should be deemed the handsomest
the monkey came with the rest and presented with all a mother 's tenderness a flat-nosed hairless ill-featured young monkey as a candidate for the promised reward
a general laugh saluted her on the presentation of her son
she resolutely said
i know not whether jupiter will allot the prize to my son but this i do know that he is at least in the eyes of me his mother the dearest handsomest and most beautiful of all
