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.
