SWAMI VIVAKANADAR SHORT STORIES(TWO FROGS)

 
Two Frogs
 
Two frogs fell into a deep pit, and though they tried very hard they could not hop out. Their comrades
 
peered down from the top and croaked in sympathy. “We feel for you,” they shouted, ” but there�€™s no
 
way you can get out from there!” On hearing this, one of the frogs lost heart, and died of fear. The other frog
 
was deaf. He thought his comrades were shouting encouragement. Emboldened by their faith in him, he
 
gathered up all his reserves of energy in one great jump that landed him out of the pit.
 
 
 
 Moral: Sometimes it wise to turn a deaf ear to those who would discourage you.
