One day the frogs decided to compete with each other to see who would be the first to climb to the top of a high mountain. There were quite a few frogs willing to take part in this competition.
A lot of animals from all over the forest gathered to watch the frogs fail. They really wanted to laugh at the little frogs, since the task was not easy.
And so the command “Start!” sounded. and the frogs rushed to climb to the top.
And then the ridicule from the forest guests began:
- Look at them, they’re all about to fall!
- It’s not possible that they imagined themselves!
-You'll never reach the top!
The frogs began to fall from the mountain one after another.
The animals continued to scream:
- Look how high it is, and you are so small and weak!
- It’s hard, and your paws are so small!
- You are frogs, not eagles!
Hearing these ridicule, more and more frogs left the distance.
A little more time passed, and almost all the frogs hit and abandoned their goal.
Only one frog was left to climb to the top. Despite the ridicule, loud statements of “IMPOSSIBLE!” and the hard way, she climbed higher and higher.
And then the moment came when the victorious frog was already at the top of the mountain, at the top of its goal.
Everyone was surprised and even shocked: “How could this little frog get to the top of such a large and flat mountain?”
When she came down, one of the competition participants approached her and asked: “How did you do it? What's your secret?
The frog did not answer anything, she turned out to be deaf...
