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.
Moral: An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them
