The story of the 'determined' frog

Once upon a time there was a land of frogs, where all the frogs used to live happily together. However, their happiness was not to last long when one day a sly fox came into their area. His intentions were to bring discontentment in the hearts of the frogs.

So, he told them that although they were having a good life in the pond, but there was nothing better than climbing the tree next to the pond. Nobody in the frog community had ever climbed the tree, so there were many who thought they could do it.

So, they started to try to climb the huge tree. Firstly, the stronger ones tried but couldn't do it after multiple tries. Then all the other frogs kept on trying. People started to become disheartened and kept saying that 'This was Impossible'.Many gave up and went back home with a heavy heart.

Then one fine morning, a little froggy started approaching the tree. Everybody looked at her and started laughing. Everybody kept saying how, when the best failed, could a little froggy climb the tree. The kept calling out to her but she did not pay any heed.

She started trying and trying and trying. By evening, she had tried multiple times and now had found a way to climb up and eventually before night fall, she climbed up and reached the top.

Everybody cheered and called out to her but she did not listen. This was because the little froggy was deaf. The only reason she made it up the tree was because she could not hear all the disheartening and discouraging remarks of the other frogs.

REMEMBER, in life when you become focused and determined to achieve something great then never pay heed to all those who stop you and tell you that its NOT possible.

Very briefly written and expressed.
Very true indeed with a practical moral!
