 The Story of the Tiny Frog
There once was a bunch of tiny frogs who got together to arrange a competition to reach to the top of the highest
tower in town.
As the date for the competition was announced, the news spread everywhere and crowd in large numbers
gathered around the tower to see this interesting competition and cheer on the contestants. The crowd did not
really believe any of these little frogs were going to make it to the top of the tower. Yet they were curious…
The competition began, the frogs quickly started to ascend and the crowd cheered!
As a few moments passed, someone from the crowd shouted, "Not a chance that they will succeed! The tower is
too high!"
Another spectator said, "Yes, they will never make it to the top. It's way too difficult!"
As the competition continued, some of the tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one… tired… exhausted… But the
race continued… as those who still had the fight left, passionately continued to climb higher and higher…
In the excitement and anxiety, the crowd continued to yell, "It is too difficult. No one will make it!"
More tiny frogs got tired and gave up. They all continued to give up one by one, until there was only ONE little frog
left in the competition who continued to climb higher and higher and higher…
This one wouldn’t give up!
This one tiny frog who, after a big effort was the only one who reached the top! This little soul was the winner! He
made it! He got the glory!
Naturally, everyone wanted to know how this one tiny frog managed to pull it off when every other contestant
gave up. Everybody wanted to know how this tiny frog had found the strength to reach this goal that everyone else
thought it was impossible. So, they asked questions.
It turned out that the winner was deaf.
