The Deaf Frog and the importance of Common Sense

Dear Kids,

When you are in class, you must listen carefully and study your lessons well in order to score good marks. However, it is even more important to have common sense to be successful later on in life in any field of your choice.

Just read this story to see why!!!

A biologist was interested in studying how far frogs can jump. He brought a frog into his laboratory, set it down, and commanded, "Jump, frog, jump!" The frog jumped across the room. The biologist measured the distance, then noted in his journal, "Frog with four legs jumped eight feet."

Then he cut the frog's front legs off. Again he ordered, "Jump, frog, jump!" The frog struggled a moment, then jumped a few feet. After measuring the distance, the biologist noted in his journal, "Frog with two legs jumped three feet."

Next, the biologist cut off the frog's back legs. Once more, he shouted, "Jump, frog, jump!" The frog just lay there.

"Jump, frog, jump!" the biologist repeated.

Nothing.

The biologist noted in his journal, "Frog with no legs - lost its hearing."

Happy reading!
