The story is about a group of tiny frogs that hold a race to climb a very tall tower. A crowd gathers to watch and cheer them on but doubt they will succeed because the tower is too high. Most of the frogs begin to tire out and give up climbing partway up. However, one frog continues climbing higher and higher until it reaches the top, while all the others have given up. It is revealed that the winning frog was deaf, so it could not hear the negative comments from the crowd doubting they would make it to the top. The moral of the story is to not listen to other people's negativity and pessimism and to pursue your dreams regardless of what others say.
