Little do we realize how many millions of parasites, too minute to be seen by the naked eye, surround us in life. Some live in the human body, others in the air, and still others in our food. Each thing that goes to make up this world, houses its own particular kind of germ. Microscopic Pond Life is a little study of some of these germs, magnified about ten thousand times. The next time we pass a pond, we'll know just what the germs in it look like, even though we cannot see them.

Mulius Caesar, a great Roman Emperor, owes an odd number of millions to Liarus Bunko, the royal soothsayer and money-lender. He could pay off his debts by selling the royal garage, but this is too desperate a means to be given a moment's thought. Bunko is willing to content himself with Myria, the emperor's beautiful daughter, and call it "square." Myria hates Bunko, but is willing to sacrifice herself if she can save thereby the royal garage. At the betrothal banquet, Bunko presents her with a lazy slave, called Plento Morpheus. Plento falls at once in love with Myria, and flirts with her in the presence of Caesar and Bunko. He is sentenced to be eaten up by Leo, the terrible lion. Cast into the arena, he succeeds in outwitting his tormentors, and in substituting Bunko for himself as food for the lion. The lion offers no objection, as Morpheus is lean, while Bunko is fat. Caesar gets back his I.O.U.s, Myria and Morpheus are united and live happily ever after.
