Story of The Two Frog Hanging in There

Two frogs fell into a deep cream bowl.
One was a wise and cheery soul;
The other one took a gloony view
And bade his friend a sad adieu.

Said the other frog with a merry grin,
"I can't get out, but I woun't give in!
I'll swim around till my strength is spent,
Then I will die all the more content."

And as the swam, though ever it seemed,
His struggling began to churn the cream
Until on top of pure butter he stopped
And out of the bowl he quickly hopped.

The moral, you ask? Oh it's easily found:
If you can't get out, just keep swimming around.
