Two Frogs
#Reading
A group of frogs was traveling through the woods when two of them fell into a deep pit. Seeing how deep the pit was, the other frogs told the two that they were as good as dead.
Ignoring the comments, the two frogs tried to jump out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept shouting at them to stop, insisting they had no chance of survival. Eventually, one of the frogs listened to their words, gave up, and died.
The other frog, however, continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs urged him to stop and accept his fate. Instead, he jumped even harder and finally made it out of the pit.
When he emerged, the other frogs asked, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained that he was deaf and had misunderstood their shouts as encouragement.
Moral: There is power in the words we speak—life and death lie in the tongue. A kind or encouraging word can lift someone up and help them persevere, even in the toughest of times. Be mindful of what you say and strive to speak life to those you encounter.
