00:00In a peaceful jungle pond, a frog named Freddy lived among the water lilies.

00:05He was strong and had the longest, most powerful legs of any frog in the jungle.

00:10But Freddy had one major flaw, he never stopped boasting about his abilities.

00:14I am the greatest jumper in the whole jungle.

00:19Freddy croaked loudly every morning.

00:21No one can match my strength, speed, or agility.

00:26The other animals in the pond often rolled their eyes.

00:29They had heard Freddy's words too many times.

00:33Even his fellow frogs had grown tired of his constant bragging.

00:37One day, an old turtle named Toby came to the pond.

00:41He was wise and had lived in the jungle for many years.

00:45Unlike Freddy, he never boasted about his abilities.

00:48Instead, he observed the world around him with patience and understanding.

00:54Freddy saw Toby moving slowly along the edge of the water and laughed.

00:58Hey, old shell.

01:00You must wish you had my powerful legs.

01:03Look at how fast I can move.

01:06He performed a massive leap, landing with a splash in the water.

01:10Toby smiled calmly.

01:12Speed is useful, young one, but wisdom is even greater.

01:16Freddy scoffed.

01:18Wisdom?

01:19That won't help you outrun danger.

01:24I bet you wouldn't stand a chance against me in a race.

01:27Toby nodded.

01:29Very well.

01:31Let's have a race.

01:33But not just any race.

01:35Let's race across the great river.

01:38Freddy grinned.

01:40Easy.

01:41I can jump across in no time.

01:44The next day, animals from all around gathered by the riverbank to watch the race.

01:49Freddy was confident, standing tall with his chest puffed out.

01:54Prepare to lose, slow shell, he said.

01:57As soon as the race began, Freddy made an enormous leap into the river.

02:02But he had underestimated its power.

02:05The strong current pulled him away, and his legs grew tired as he struggled against the

02:09rushing water.

02:10Meanwhile, Toby slowly but steadily paddled across.

02:15He knew how to navigate the currents, moving with the flow instead of fighting against it.

02:20Freddy, exhausted, barely made it to the other side, coughing and gasping for air.

02:26To his shock, Toby was already waiting on the shore, looking as calm as ever.

02:31Toby smiled.

02:32Sometimes, slow and steady wins the race.

02:37Strength is important, but wisdom and patience will take you further.

02:42Freddy hung his head in shame.

02:44He had been too proud to realize that every creature had its own strengths.

02:49From that day on, he learned to respect others and use his skills wisely.

02:54Moral.

02:55Overconfidence can lead to failure.

02:58True wisdom lies in understanding one's strengths and weaknesses and respecting other's abilities.
