In an abandoned pond on the outskirts of a city lived a big family of frogs. They were happy to be with one another. As they had no visitors towards their pond so they lived threat free.They would spend time together eating, playing, hopping and laughing together.

A young frog among them had a secret wish. He wanted to climb to a nearby tree. When he disclosed his desire to his family members, they were shocked to hear it as frogs cannot climb up a tree. He nevertheless tried it.

But the family members were worried for him and warned him not to do so. The young frog was determined to try climbing the tree. So he did start to climb it and decided to reach the top of the tree.All frogs shouted, “it is impossible, it is impossible “. “Don’t do it”. “What on earth made you risk your life?”, were a few of the comments passed by his family members from below the tree he was climbing.

Still, the young frog hopped, climbed, holding tight onto the branches of the tree, and reached the top. All the other frogs were shocked. “How could he!”. That was because he was deaf. And he thought everyone was encouraging him to reach the top.

Moral of the story: Be deaf to negative thoughts, if your aim is to reach your goal. Listen to your heart and work for it.
