A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them
fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs 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 up out of the pit
with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop,
that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took
heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down
and died.
The other 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. When he got out, the
other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to
them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the
entire time.
This story teaches two lessons:
1. There is 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.
2. 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. The power of words... it is sometimes hard to understand
that an encouraging word can go such a long way. Anyone can speak
words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in
difficult times. Special is the individual who will take the time
to encourage another.

i think i understand the moral of the story but i am confused.
If the frog is deaf and if he couldnt listen to the other frogs when it is near to them , how it is able to listen to them and answer their question when it is out of that DEEEEEEP Well.
REALLY CONFUSSED :D
"When he got out, the
other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to
them that he was deaf."

Other than this - the moral of the piece is worth pondering upon. :)

Agree with the hearing part, that was what I was wondering, How the heck did the freaking toad hear the last sentence.
Auxillary Moral of the stories:
1. Handicap can be boon sometimes. So don't look down on others.
2. Don't flow with the mass, just because they have a higher number doesn't mean they are right.
3. Watch when u walk.
4. Try to look the better side of things all the time, the frog could've assumed they were discouraging him too.
5. Frogs do talk.
