The two frogs ignored what
were saying and
to jump up out of the pit with all of their physical strength. The other frogs
telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs

down and died.
The other frog continued to jump as
as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the
and just die. He jumped even harder and finally
it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, “Did you not

it takes to kill them. Be
of what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path.
