They tried to jump out, but it was so high! Soon, other frogs gathered around the hole. They saw how deep it was and started shouting, "It’s too hard! You’ll never make it out!“ Hearing this, one of the frogs got sad and stopped jumping. He thought there was no hope, so he gave up. But the other frog kept jumping and jumping, trying even harder. Finally, after a big, strong leap, he made it out of the hole! The little frog smiled and said, "Thank you, everyone, for cheering me on!" The other frogs were surprised and realized something — the little frog was deaf! He didn’t hear their discouraging words. He thought they were cheering him, so he kept trying until he made it. Feeling bad, the frogs learned an important lesson. They started cheering loudly for the frog still in the hole, saying, "You can do it! Don’t give up!" Encouraged by their support, the second frog found new energy and kept jumping until, at last, he made it out too. From that day on, all the frogs learned how important it is to always encourage others!
