    Four frogs sat upon a log that lay floating on the edge of a river. Suddenly the log was caught by the current and swept slowly down the stream. The frogs were delighted and absorbed, for never before had they sailed.

    At length the first frog spoke and said “This is indeed a most marvelous log. It moves as if alive. No such log was every known before.”

    Then the second frog spoke and said, “Nay, my friend, the log is like other logs, and does not move. It is the river that is walking to the sea and carries us and the log with it.”

    And the third frog spoke and said, “It is neither the log nor the river that moves. The moving is in our thinking. For without thought nothing moves.”

    And the three frogs began to wrangle about what was really moving. The quarrel grew hotter and louder but they could not agree.

    Then they turned to the fourth frog who up to this time had been listening attentively but holding his peace and they asked his opinion.

    And the fourth frog said “Each of you is right and none of you is wrong. The moving is in the log and the water and our thinking also.”

    And the three frogs became very angry for none of them was willing to admit that his was not the whole truth and that the other two were not wholly wrong.

    Then the strange thing happened. The three frogs got together and pushed the fourth frog off the log into the river.

    Hello Navis,

    I did not want to give a moral and wanted to leave that to the reader's interpretation.

    But since you asked, I have been wondering recently on the opinions part and feel that opinions are opinions and we do not get the full picture most of time.

    Yet we analyse and start judging and taking it personal and sometimes even take it offensive when others do not agree to one's opinion's.

    The 4th frog faced the brunt of the other 3 frogs for sharing his frank opinion and which they did not like because it was not in-line with their view.
