We should ignore backbiting



We should ignore backbiting.

Two frogs were walking along the road
and were engrossed in conversation
so they couldn't notice,
a deep and big ditch.

So both of them fell into it,
and couldn't come out.
They became disheartened
and kept quiet.

The other frogs were sure,
that they couldn't be rescued
and would die very soon.
They were gathered on the sides of the ditch.

They were making fun and critising them.
Hearing the criticisms,
the first frog left his hope
but second frog wanted to get the chances.

So the second frog was jumping
again and again to come out.
The more he was failure,
The more he put his efforts.

At last the second frog could.
The other frogs became
not only  spell bound but also ashmed.
They all applauded the second frog.

Then the secrecy was disclosed.
As the second frog was deaf
he couldn't hear,
the critisims of his friends.

So it was easy for him,
to continue his efforts.
But unlike the second frog,
the first frog was hurt by critisims and stopped efforts.

So we can conclude.
If we can ignore the backbiting,
and persue our efforts,
oneday we can reach to our goal.
