Latona & the Lycian Peasants:

After Latona gave birth to her twins, she embarked on a long, hot journey. She had no water so she was very thirsty when she came upon a lake. However, the peasants there would not let her drink instead they insult and mock her by splashing in the water. This proved to be too much for Latona so she turned them into frogs so that they could always splash in the pool.
