The Frogs
A
farmer came into town and asked the owner of a restaurant
if he could use a million frog legs. The restaurant owner
was shocked and asked the man where he could get so many frog
legs! The farmer replied, "There is a pond near my house
that is full of frogs, millions of them. They all croak all
night long and they are about to make me crazy!" So the
restaurant owner and the farmer made an agreement that the
farmer would deliver frogs to the restaurant, five hundred
at a time for the next several weeks.
The first week, the farmer returned to the restaurant looking
rather sheepish, with two scrawny little frogs.
The
restaurant owner said, "Well... where are all the frogs?"
The farmer said, "I was mistaken. There were only these
two frogs in the pond. But they sure were making a lot of
noise!"
Next time you hear somebody criticizing or making fun of you,
remember, it's probably just a couple of noisy frogs. Also
remember that problems always seem bigger in the dark. Have
you ever laid in your bed at night worrying about things which
seem almost overwhelming like a million frogs croaking? Chances
are pretty good that when the morning comes, and you take
a closer look, you'll wonder what all the fuss was about.
