A
group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell
into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they
told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored
the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might.
The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as
dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were
saying and gave up. He fell down and died.The other frog continued to jump as hard
as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the
pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When
he got out, the other frogs said, “Did you not hear us?” The frog
explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him
the entire time.
