Inside a jungle, there lives a group of frogs. Foods are getting more and more scarce in the location that they are staying now, so, one day the group leader decided that they have to leave and look for another part of the jungle where there are foods are more bountiful, and they all agreed with his idea. So, there goes the frogs, male & female, big & small, jumping around following the trail of their leader.

Unfortunately, two of the frogs accidentally fell into a deep hole and no matter how they tried to jump out, they just couldn't make it. The other frogs started to gather around the whole, looking at the two frogs jumping up and down to escape from the hole. Suddenly, the leader of the frog shouted at the two frogs, "the two of you better give up and just die inside the hole". Once the other frog's heard what their leader has said, all of them also told the two frogs to give up and die. They kept on repeating their word, while the two frogs diligently tried to get out.

One of the frogs became too exhausted, he gave up and then died inside the hole. However, the other frog is still leaping, he never gave up. The other frogs are still shouting at him, "just give up and die", but the frog kept on trying and trying, and at last he made it, he has escaped from the hole. When the frog managed to catch his breath and stood up, the other frogs just stared at him. "Didn't you hear what we have said? We told you to give up and just die inside the hole!", said the frogs, yelling at him. The frog just looked at them and made a sign telling them that he is actually deaf. All this while when he was inside the hole, he thought the other frogs were encouraging him to keep on trying.

Your words of encouragement are more than enough to give them the courage and comfort to face the troubles that they are facing. They will appreciate it very much.
