Kray the krobbit

Once upon a time, a thousand krobbits woke up and found themselves inside a huge magician's hat. Krobbits are neither hares nor rabbits. Though they hop and have long ears like bunnies, they have the face of a Persian cat and a tail of a Samoyed pup. Inside their little and dark limited world, they all wanted to escape and see what's beyond the brim of the hat. After weeks and months of jumping, the krobbits decided to pile up so each of them could take turns climbing onto the peak of their hill and try to make a big leap to freedom. But no one ever made it to the brim of the magician's hat. Despondent and exhausted, they all went down and decided to give up jumping, except for one krobbit, Kray. Unperturbed, Kray continued jumping, looking at the sky, wondering what those little twinkling things are during the night and what that burning thing is during the day. The krobbits would watched Kray and together they would tell her to just give up jumping, because there's no use, they say, jumping. But unmindful of what her fellow krobbits say, Kray kept jumping.

One day the krobbits woke up and found that no one in the hat is jumping. They looked around and searched for Kray, thinking that she has finally given up jumping. But Kray is not with them. They looked up to the brim of the magician's hat and there they saw Kray looking down at them. Kray smiled and waved at everyone triumphantly before she finally left to have a taste of the world outside the magician's hat.

No one realized Kray was a deaf krobbit who didn't hear that she had been told many times to give up jumping. So her legs became stronger and powerful enough to make one big leap after years and years of jumping.

Sometimes, indeed, it pays to not hear krobbits who'd say, "Give up trying." It also pays to think there's no magician who will pull us krobbits out of the huge hat we are in.
