The story is about a group of tiny frogs that held a race to climb a very tall tower. Most of the crowd doubted that the frogs could reach the top as it was too difficult. Many frogs gave up during the race due to exhaustion or losing confidence from the crowd's negative comments. However, one frog continued climbing higher and higher and ultimately reached the top alone. It was later revealed that the winning frog was deaf and unable to hear the discouraging words of the crowd. The message of the story encourages being positive and ignoring negative comments, as those can undermine one's dreams and efforts.
