Two Frogs - Great moral!


This is the story of two frogs. One frog was called Freddy, the other was called Eric. 
One day, while searching for food, they inadvertently jumped into a vat of milk. 
They couldn't get out, as the sides were too slippery, so they were just swimming around. 

Freddy said to Eric, 
"Brother frog, there's no use paddling any longer. We're just going to drown, so we might as well give up." 

Eric replied, 
"Hold on brother, keep paddling. Somebody will get us out." And they continued paddling for hours.

After a while, Freddy said, 
"Brother frog, there's no use. I'm becoming very tired now. I'm just going to stop paddling and drown. It's Sunday and nobody's working. We're doomed. There's no possible way out of here." 

But Eric said, 
"Keep trying. Keep paddling. Something will happen, keep paddling." 

Another couple of hours passed. 

 Freddy said, 
"I can't go on any longer. There's no sense in doing it because we're going to drown anyway. What's the use?" 
And Freddy stopped paddling. 
He gave up. And he drowned in the milk. 
But Eric kept on paddling.

Ten minutes later, Eric felt something solid beneath his feet. He had churned the milk into butter and he hopped out of the vat.
