There once was a bunch of tiny
frogs...
... who arranged a running
competition. The goal was to reach
the top of a very high tower. A big
crowd had gathered around the
tower to see the race and cheer on
the contestants...
The race began...
Honestly, no-one in crowd really
believed that the tiny frogs would
reach the top of the tower. You
heard statements such as:
"Oh, WAY too difficult!!"
"They will NEVER make it to the
top".
"Not a chance that they will
succeed. The tower is too high!"
The tiny frogs began collapsing. One
by one...
... Except for those who in a fresh
tempo were climbing higher and
higher...
The crowd continued to yell
"It is too difficult!!! No one will make
it!"
More tiny frogs got tired and gave
up...
...But ONE continued higher and
higher and higher...
This one wouldn't give up!
At the end, everyone else had given
up climbing the tower. Except for
the one tiny frog who, after a big
effort, was the only one who
reached the top!
THEN all of the other tiny frogs
naturally wanted to know how this
one frog managed to do it?
A contestant asked the tiny frog how
the one who succeeded had found
the strength to reach the goal?
It turned out...
That the winner was deaf.
