The Race of the Little Frogs
Once upon a time a group of little frogs decided to have a race. They had to climb a tall, tall tower. Behind the tower gathered a large noisy crowd. It was chanting ‘You won’t make it! You can’t do it!’ And one by one, the frogs began to give up and fall away. The crowd continued to scream, ‘You won’t make it! You can’t do it!’
One after another all the frogs lost heart and failed. All, except for one little frog who continued to climb. He climbed up the tower calmly and effortlessly, until he won the race!
At the end of the race everyone wanted to know how he had done it. They asked the little frog ‘What is your secret?’. But when he didn’t reply they discovered that the little frog was deaf.
The moral of the story: When we want to do something that requires courage we shouldn’t listen to people who tell us we won’t succeed. Be deaf to negative taunts.
