A farmer came into town and asked the owner of a restaurant if he could use a million frog legs? Rather shocked he asked the farmer where he could get so many? The farmer said, “Well there’s a pond near my house, and it’s full of frogs. Why they croak night and day! They’re about to drive me crazy.

An agreement was made for the farmer to bring several hundred frog legs into the restaurant the next week. A week later the farmer returned with two scrawny little wet frogs and he said, “I was mistaken.” There were only two frogs in the whole pond, but they sure were making a lot of noise.

Friends the next time you hear someone criticizing others, and they tell you “a lot of people are saying”, remember this story. It’s probably no more than a couple of chronic grouches who have nothing more to do than to just croak.
