A group of frogs (青蛙) were travelling through the bush when two of them fell into a deep hole. The other frogs tried to help them. When they saw how deep the hole was, they told the two frogs that they could not be saved and that they were almost dead. The two frogs didn’t listen to their words and tried their best to jump out of the hole. But the other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs listened to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.
The other frog, however, continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted at him to give up and wait for death. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs asked, “Didn’t you hear us?” The frog explained that he had poor hearing. He thought they were encouraging him the whole time.
Words have the power of life and death. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through their difficulties. A destructive (破坏性的) word to someone who is down can be fatal. So always be careful of what you say.
