A story was told in the land of frogs. A competition was organized, and the prize will go to the frog who gets to the top of an electric pole.
”Frogs can’t climb. How can this be? It’s impossible”, many frogs argued amongst themselves.
When the whistle was blown, the race to the pole began. A little frog was sighted up the bar. When he was brought down to receive his award, he was asked how he did it. He looked at them. The question continued, but he couldn’t talk. He was deaf!
