Determined rabbit

When a group of rabbits was traveling through the forest, two of them fell into a deep pit. The other rabbits crowded around the pit and saw how deep it was. They told the two fallen rabbits that there was no hope to get out.

However, the two rabbits decided to ignore them and they continued to try and jump out of the pit. 
Despite their efforts, the group of rabbits at the top of the pit were still saying that they should just give up.
After some time, one of the rabbits believed in what the others were saying. He gave up and died. The other rabbit continued to jump as hard as he could. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other rabbits said, “Did you not hear us?”
The rabbit explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him all the time.
