Story of Reincarnation of Frog and the Bull

Once upon a time, there lived a frog who was intelligent , strong and ambitious. He was considered best among  frogs and this made the street-smart frog think he was the best and capable to do anything. One fine day, the frog came across a bull who was intelligent, strong and ambitious. The frog felt, the only difference between the bull and him was the size and then it was immaterial as all the other qualities were same. The frog decided to be as big as bull in size and started pumping air in his body. Size increased and frog got happy and kept pumping air. Alas ! Some point of time the energy was lost and frog could not become the full grown bull.

Few centuries later, reincarnation happened. This time the frog was born as a sportsman and started playing at early age. God was kind enough to give him all the qualities of strength, ambitions and talent too. The sportsman started believing he is the best. He had teammates who were big bulls of the game and were way ahead in caliber than our frog turned Sportsman. However, being sportsmen and having huge team spirit , the big bulls never underestimated their team mate and always made the froggy sportsman believe, he was BULL like them.

Time doesn’t wait for anyone. Big bulls and froggy sportsman had to move away from the game. They retired, settled in life with tag of  ‘Former bulls’. Our froggy sportsman knowing his psyche, thought he deserved much more in life, and started dreaming big. He thought he can become a big time politician and can solve international problems. Unfortunately, there was another froggy bull on the other side of international border too and both froggy bulls came together to solve the age old problem of  deciding who is the real bull or who is the frog ?

Life has come full circle for the frog !

P.S. Time has withstood the notion, no frog can ever become a bull. It will decide and find out the real bull on its own. Till then if you come across any frog whom you might see around behaving like a bull is merely coincidental.
