As
a group of frogs was traveling through the woods, two of them fell into a deep
pit. When the other frogs crowded around the pit and saw how deep it was, they
told the two frogs that there was no hope left for them.
However,
the two frogs decided to ignore what the others were saying and they proceeded
to try and jump out of the pit. Despite their efforts, the group of frogs at
the top of the pit were still saying that they should just give up. That they
would never make it out.
Eventually,
one of the frogs took heed to what the others were saying and he gave up,
falling down to his death. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he
could. 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
of the story:
People’s
words can have a big effect on other’s lives. Think about what you say before
it comes out of your mouth. It might just be the difference between life and
death.
