17. Deafness
becomes a Boon
Once a group of frogs was
living contentedly in the woods. Suddenly, some frogs gathered around the pit
finding two of them had fallen into a deep pit. When they saw how deep the pit
was, they dejectedly told the two frogs in the pit that they should prepare
themselves for their fate, because they were as good as dead. Reluctantly, the two
frogs began to jump with all their might. Some of the frogs shouted into the
pit that it was hopeless, and that the two frogs wouldn't have been in that
situation if they had been more careful, more obedient. Listening to them one
of the two frogs into the pit lost hope and quietly resolved himself to his
fate. He lay down at the bottom of the pit, and died as the others looked on in
helpless grief. But another frog kept struggling. Finally, - he leapt so high
that he sprang out of the pit. The amazed frogs asked him, “Why he keep jumping
as they told him it was impossible?” Reading their lips, the astonished frog
told them that he was deaf.
