Three young frogs, who were as yet unwise about the ways of the world, were out one day, exploring their environment.
There was a bucket and eager to know more about it, two of them jumped right into it. Splash!
The third being ever so slightly more timid only jumped onto the top rim of the bucket and looked down at his two comrades struggling below to jump out of a white substance.
Neither he nor they knew it was milk!
After some failed attempts, he shouted down to them, "You’ll never make it. Face facts and prepare to die!"
But since self-preservation is the first rule of life for humans and animals alike, they continued to struggle for as long as possible.
The frog on top continued to shout down, "You’ll never make it. Give up and die peacefully".
Unfortunately one of the two struggling frogs could not continue and disappeared below the surface never to be seen again. The one remaining continued despite the discouragement of his comrade on top of the bucket.
After a short while his feet had a soft yellow substance to stand on.
He had made butter out of the cream on top of the milk.
No sooner had he enough for a foothold than he positioned himself and jumped clean out of the bucket!
When rejoined by his comrade, he thanked him profusely for all the encouragement he shouted down to him. He would never have made it without his help.
