Persistence

Two frogs happened one day to come upon a milk churn standing in the farmyard. Feeling thirsty, they both jumped in and drank their fill. When they sought a way out however, there was none; the sides of the churn were too smooth and slippery.

After battling for some time, they were both exhausted. "Come on," encouraged the younger frog; "there must be a way out." "No," replied the older frog. "It's no good. We've had it." And with that he sank to the bottom of the churn and drowned.

The younger frog refused to give up. He kicked and kicked for what seemed hours until suddenly with one leap he was free. When he looked back to discover what had enabled him to get out, he saw that, with all his kicking, the milk had turned to butter.

Moral: You Can't Achieve Anything By Giving Up.
