Class 10 English...Cbse

Answer 1

Once there was a frog who croaked day and night and the other animals didn't like his voice as it hurt them a lot . Then came can nightingale. The Nightingale whose voice was extremely melodious. Animals from distant areas came there to hear her singing. The frog was at the time jealous and he decided to do something. But despite of all these the nightingale lacked self confidence and she accepted the frog as her teacher. The frog made her do harsh training in the rain and she believed the frog and at the end, she burst a vein and had to die.

This ballad teaches us how not knowing to judge ourselves may lead to disasters. The nightingale had the talent, but not judging herself. She could even deny the frog, but she didn't. So, she had to die a bitter death.
