5．A group of frogs were traveling through the woods，and two of them fell into a deep hole．When the other frogs saw how deep the hole was，they told the two frogs that they were almost dead．The two frogs ignored them and tried to jump up out of the hole．The other frogs kept telling them to stop，and that they were almost dead．Finally，one of the frogs gave up．He fell down and died．
The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could．Once again，the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain and just die．He jumped even harder and finally made it out．
When he got out，the other frogs said，"Did you not hear us？"The frog explained to them that he was deaf．He thought they were encouraging him all the time．
This story teaches us two lessons：
1There is power of life and death in the words．An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day．
2A destructive （毀滅性的） word to someone who is unhappy can kill them．
Be careful of what you say．The power of words-it is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way．Anyone can speak words that may rob（奪去） another of the spirit to continue in difficult times．It is really special for a person to take time to encourage another．
