Once upon a time, a bunch of tiny frogs arranged a running competition. The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower. A big crowd had gathered around to the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants.
Honestly, no one in the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower. Crowd heard statements such as: “Oh, way too difficult! They will never make it to the top”, or “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. This one would not 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 little frog manage to do it? A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal.
It turned out….. . The winner was Deaf!!
