The Boys and the Frogs

SOME BOYS, playing near a pond, saw a number of Frogs in the water and began to pelt them with stones. They killed several of them, when one of the Frogs, lifting his head out of the water, cried out: "Please stop, young boys: what is sport to you, is death to us."


Moral of the story: "One man's pleasure may be another's pain."-

Tolerance

This speech was recorded in 1940, by one of the best comedians that ever lived. After watching the video, please write about any feelings you may have. How does this relate to tolerance?
