Question

A group of frogs were traveling through the forests, but unluckily two of them fell into a hole. The other frogs tried to help them. When they saw how deep the hole was, they cried to the two frogs,“We can’t save you.”The two frogs didn’t care and tried their best to jump up out of the hole. The other frogs kept saying that they were sure to die. Finally, one of the two frogs gave up, because he heard what the others were saying. Then he fell down and died. The other one, however, continued to jump as hard as he could, and at last he succeeded. When he got out, the other frogs asked, “Didn’t you hear us?” The frog, who had a poor hearing, explained, “I thought you were encouraging me all the time.”

The story teaches us: There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to those who are down can help them out while a discouraging word can kill them.
