The Hare and The Frogs
A hare was berating itself for being so afraid all the time and running away from everything. He was just promising himself that he would behave more courageously in future, when a sudden noise made him run away again as fast as he could.
He came to a pool where, as soon as the frogs heard his approach, they dived into the water and did in the mud.
‘Thank goodness’, thought the hare. “That just proves that no matter how scared you are, there is always someone else who is even more scared!’
There are always others worse off than you are.
