Two Frogs in a Pit – Amazing Moral Story!

A
group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them
fell
into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they

told the two frogs that they were as good as dead.


The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the
pit
with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop,
that
there’s no way to survive. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to
what
the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.
The other frog continued to jump as
hard as he could. Once 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
were in shock and said, “Did you not hear us?!”

The frog explained to them that he is partially deaf. He thought they were
encouraging him the entire time.


This story teaches us two lessons:



1.
There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word
to
someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through
the
day.

2. A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them.
Be careful of what you say. Speak
life to those who cross your path. The power of words, it is
sometimes
hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way.
Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another of the spirit to
continue in difficult times. Special is the individual who will take
the
time to encourage another.
