     There once was a group of tiny frogs(青蛙) who held a running competition. The goal

was to reach the top of a very high tower. A big crowd had gathered around the tower to

see the race and cheer on the contestants.(选手)

     The race began…

     Honestly, no one in the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of

the tower. You heard statements such as:

     "Oh, it's too difficult!"

     "They will NEVER make it to the top."

     "Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"

     The tiny frogs began falling down, one by one…

     …except for those who in a fresh tempo(节奏) were climbing higher and higher…

     The crowd continued to shout, "It is too difficult! No one will make it!"

     More tiny frogs got tired and gave up… But one continued higher and higher and

higher …This one wouldn't give up!

    In the end, everyone else had given up climbing the tower, except for the one tiny frog

which, after a big effort(努力), was the only one who reached the top!

     Then all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this tiny frog managed to

do it.

     A contestant asked the frog how he had found the strength to reach the goal. It turned

out that the winner was deaf.
