Once a big fat frog and a lively little frog were hopping along
together when they had the misfortune of jumping into a pail of fresh
milk. They swam for hours and hours hoping to get out somehow; but the
sides of the pail were steep and slippery and death seemed to be
certain.
When the big frog was exhausted he lost courage. There
seemed no hope of rescue. "Why keep struggling against the inevitable? I
cannot swim any longer." He moaned.
"Keep on! Keep on!" urged the
little frog, who was still circling the pail. So they went on for a
while. But the big frog decided it was no use.
"Little brother, We may as well give up" he gasped. "I am going to quit
struggling."Now only the little frog was left.
He thought to himself. "Well, to give up is to be dead, so I will keep
swimming."
Two
more hours passed and the tiny legs of the determined little frog were
almost paralysed with exhaustion. It seemed as if he could not keep
moving for another minute. But he thought of his dead friend, and
repeated,
"To give up is to be meat for someone"stable, so I"ll keep
paddling on until I die – if death is to come – but I will not cease
trying – while there is life, there is hope."
Intoxicated with
determination, the little frog kept on swimming around and around the
pail, chopping the milk into white waves. After a while, just as he
felt completely numb and thought he was about to drown, he suddenly
felt something solid under him.
To his astonishment, he saw that
he was resting on a lump of butter which he had churned by constant
paddling! And so the successful little frog leaped out of the milk pail
to freedom.
