optimist frog

Optimist frog looked for goodness in the world every day. He found it too and seemed happy and ready to play You are the best he told us, building our self-concepts up. But what about you? Asked his savior, his pup. I am not important, optimist frog said, concentrating on others. He thought this because he had been shunned by two mothers. You are the best! The pup told him, you need to believe that too. But he could only believe it about other frogs, and this made him blue.
