A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit(坑). When the other frogs saw a deep pit it was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as     (die) . The two frogs didn't listen to the others and tried to jump out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs heard what the other frogs     (say) and gave up, so he died.
The other frog went on jumping as hard as he could    (get) out. Once again, the other frogs cried at him and told him  to stop and just allow     to die, but he jumped even    (hard) and finally made himself out. When he was out, the other frogs said, "Didn't you hear us?" The frog explained to them that    was wrong with his hearing. He thought they were encouraging him    whole time.
There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone     is down can lift him or her up and help them make it    the day, while bad words can rob another of the spirit to go on in difficult times. Be careful of what you say.
