A group of tiny frogs held a race to climb a very tall tower. The crowd doubted the frogs could reach the top. Most frogs gave up from exhaustion, but one deaf frog continued climbing higher until it was the only one to reach the top. The other frogs then asked how it succeeded, and realized that by being deaf, it could not hear the crowd's negative comments discouraging it. The story's message is to ignore negative people and stay positive by not listening to those who say your dreams can't be achieved.
