Frogs



A group of frogs were traveling through the



woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit.



All the other frogs gathered around the pit.







When they 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 out of the pit with all of their might.



The group of frogs kept telling them



to stop, just give it up!!!!








Finally, one of the frogs took heed



to what the other frogs were saying and gave up.



He fell down and died. The second 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.







You see this frog was deaf, unable to hear



what the others were saying. He thought they



were encouraging him the entire time.

This story teaches a lesson....



There is the power of life and death in the tongue.



An encouraging word to someone who is



down can lift them up and help them



make it through the day.



A destructive word to someone who is



down can be what it takes to kill them.



Be careful of what you say.



Speak life to those who cross your path.



Oh and one more thing!



Remember ...
