THE BOASTFUL SHRIMP

Once there was a shrimp who thought he was the most handsome shrimp in the world. In fact, he believed that he was more handsome than any other creatures on earth.

“Just look at my sword,” he proudly told the other young shrimps, pointing to the sharp pointed protrusion at the end of his nose. Of course, as far as shrimps were concerned, the end of the nose was the most natural place for the sword to be.

“And look at my thick, smooth shield,” Like other shrimps he carried his shield,” he would continue. “Nothing can pierce the shield,” like other shrimps he carried his shield on his head. All he needed to do to show off his head was to hold his head high.

“You are indeed a handsome shrimp,” said an old experienced shrimp. “But you are just reaching adulthood and have had no experience of the world. Do not display yourself too much or else one of those humans might grab you,” said the old shrimp pointing with one of his many legs to a young man swimming nearby.

“Grab me? Who? That soft- skinned two – legged creature? “scoffed the young shrimp. “He does not even have a proper shell. He has those funny little bits of shell on the

ends of his fingers and toes, which do not protect him at all, as far as I can tell. All I need to do is stab him with my sharp sword, and that will be end of him. Someday, he and other two- legged humans will look at me and admire me!” said the young shrimp.

​

“Well if you won’t listen to my advice,” said the old shrimp, “you will have to learn your lessons the hard way.”

The young shrimp soon forget about the old shrimp’s advice. He continued his habit of looking for groups of other young shrimps his age and showing off before them. He would engage in shrimp gymnastics, bending his body this way and that, to let them see how strong his muscles inside his beautifully glistening white shell, which hardly had any dark dots or lines on them, unlike the other shrimps around him.

One day, a fishing boat passed by, with fisherman on board looking for a good catch. The boastful shrimp saw his chance to display his athletic form before them. He swam to the surface of the water. The fisherman saw him. They cast their net and in a few minutes, the boastful young shrimp was caught in the net, along with other shrimps and fish.

​

That day, at lunch time, the boastful shrimp was seen on the end of a barbeque stick, his shell now in beautiful colors of pink, red and brown with some scorched spots from the coals over which he was roasted.

“What a fine, fat shrimp!” explained the persons around the dining table.

​

“It’s the best shrimp I’ve ever tasted!” said the person who picked up the barbeque stick and cut up the shrimp, after putting a little portion in his mouth. The boastful, young shrimp got his wish at last to be admired by humans.

The Story of The Tiny Frog

There once was a bunch of tiny frogs who got together to arrange a competition to reach to the top of the highest tower in town.

As the date for the competition was announced, the news spread everywhere and crowd in large numbers gathered around the tower to see this interesting competition and cheer on the contestants. The crowd did not really believe any of these little frogs were going to make it to the top of the tower. Yet they were curious…

The competition began, the frogs quickly started to ascend and the crowd cheered!

As a few moments passed, someone from the crowd shouted, "Not a chance that they will succeed! The tower is too high!"

Another spectator said, "Yes, they will never make it to the top. It's way too difficult!"

As the competition continued, some of the tiny frogs began collapsing.

One by one… tired… exhausted… But the race continued… as those who still had the fight left, passionately continued to climb higher and higher…

In the excitement and anxiety the crowd continued to yell, "It is too difficult. No one will make it!"

More tiny frogs got tired and gave up. They all continued to give up one by one, until there was only ONE little frog left in the competition who continued to climb higher and higher and higher…

This one wouldn’t give up!

This one tiny frog who, after a big effort was the only one who reached the top! This little soul was the winner! He made it! He got the glory!

Naturally, everyone wanted to know how this one tiny frog managed to pull it off when every other contestant gave up. Everybody wanted to know how this tiny frog had found the strength to reach this goal that everyone else thought it was impossible. So, they asked questions.

It turned out that the winner was deaf.
