The two frogs chose to disregard their friends and continue
trying to jump out of the pit. The frogs at the top of the hole, however, continued
to advise them to give up because they would never be able to escape.
One of the frogs eventually listened to what the other frogs
were saying and gave up, jumping even more to his demise. The second frog kept
jumping as forcefully as he could. The bunch of frogs yelled at him to stop
hurting and to simply die once more.
He didn't pay attention to them, leaped higher, and
eventually got it out. Did you not hear us, the other frogs cried when he
emerged from the water.
The frog informed them that he was deaf and that he had
mistakenly believed they were supporting him the entire time.
