Once upon a time in a small frog village, word spread about a legendary mountain that no frog had ever climbed.
The elders called it “Too High.”
The youth called it “Someday.”
Most frogs just avoided it altogether.
But one little frog named Kazi kept staring at it every morning. Something inside him whispered, “Try.”
The others laughed. “You’re too small.” “No frog has ever done it.” “Why risk falling when you can sit here and croak in peace?” But Kazi began anyway.
Day one: He slipped.
Day two: He got rained on.
Day three: He met a lizard that mocked him and stole his snacks.
But Kazi kept going.
He wasn’t the fastest. He didn’t have fancy tools. But he had one thing most frogs didn’t: He was willing to look ridiculous in the name of progress.
And so, inch by inch, hop by hop… He made it. Not because he was the best, but because he didn’t quit. When he reached the top, the view wasn’t just beautiful. It was worth it. And the same frogs who laughed from below? They started wondering what else they could climb.
Moral of the Story?
People may laugh when you begin. You might trip, look silly, or feel like you’re slow. But if you move anyway, you’ll grow anyway. And one day, your trying will become someone else’s inspiration.
Don’t wait to feel ready. Don’t wait for perfection. Just start climbing.
Because the view from the top is reserved for those who keep hopping, even when it hurts.
