The Determined Frog: The Power of Words and Kindness
Once upon a time, there were some frogs going on a journey in the jungle. Two frogs accidentally fell into a deep hole. When the other frogs saw how deep it was, they thought there was no way for the two frogs to get out.
The group of frogs couldn't figure out how to help their friends. They gave up and thought it was impossible. But the two frogs inside the hole decided not to listen to anyone. They chose to try and find a way out.
The two frogs kept trying to jump out of the hole. The other frogs outside kept saying they would never make it and that they should stop trying. The group of frogs discouraged them every time they attempted to jump out.
Eventually, one frog believed what the others were saying and gave up. He stopped trying and sadly passed away in the hole. The other frog kept jumping and jumping, even though he was tired and in pain. But he didn't give up. The frogs outside felt bad and told him to stop trying and accept his fate.
The determined frog gathered all his energy and made another big jump. This time, he succeeded! All the frogs were happy and wondered why he kept trying when they told him to stop. One of the frogs asked, "We kept telling you to give up, but you didn't. Why?"
The frog replied, "Oh, I am deaf, so I thought you were encouraging me to try hard. That's why I kept going until I made it!"
a) If you pay attention to what people are saying you might never be able to make it.
