The Frogs’ Dilemma

The Frogs’ Dilemma

 

When things look bad and you’re feeling sad; when all the world seems blue, Consider the tale of two different frogs. Which one sounds like you?

Two frogs fell into a deep cream bowl; One was an optimistic soul

But the other took a gloomy view: “We shall drown without further ado.”

So, with a last, despairing cry, he flung up his legs and he said good-bye.

Quoth the other frog with a merry grin, “I can’t get out, but I won’t give in.

I’ll just swim ’round till my strength is spent, then I will die the more content.”

Bravely he swam till it would seem his struggles began to churn the cream.

On the top of the butter at last he stopped, and out of the bowl he gaily hopped.

What of the moral? ‘Tis easily found: If you can’t get out, keep swimming around.
