There once were three Frogs who lived in harmony and tried to work together to catch flies. But one day the smallest Frog said “I wish I were a fish. They can swim around for hours and hours, and with all the moss in our pond, they never go hungry”. The other two looked at him for a moment and then replied in unison, “But WE never go hungry because we work together.”
“Ahh,” said the smallest “but they too work together. They travel in schools and together they live in total harmony.” The others again relied in unison “But WE live in harmony!” The smallest thought about this for a moment.
“The Fish have gills! Do we have gills!?” The others were now put on the defencive. “ We have...um... webbed feet” said one, and the other joined in “We also can turn into princes!”
The smallest suddenly broke into a wide grin. “Oh yeah!”
And with that the three Frogs turned into Princes and headed across the street for some steaks.
The moral of the story: Sometimes we forget how good we have it. Sometimes we forget how good we CAN have it.

Not bagging on fables here: But what's up with all the fables recently.

Let us all drink Tree Toad Beer together and contemplate the communal richness of our society.
Voted hard. But yeah they should have just gotten drunk rather than dwell on their inherent failings.
@Al Dente
If you never look at your failings, you never have a chance to improve them. The point of this article was that by introspection, you can resolve or come to terms with your problems and better yourself as a whole. Wise people from all around the world have been trying to teach us this important lesson for thousands of years. The goons are trying to teach that if we remain divided against each other, we'll be so busy creating perceived threats from within that we'll be overwhelmed by real threats from without. History has shown that when different people come together, they can accomplish great things.
