Two frogs

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 they were as good as dead.

 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 said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to

them that he was deaf.

He thought they were encouraging him the

entire time.
