Ping and The Way of Ping Unabridged CD Collection: Ping, The Way of Ping
Ping:
This is the mystical story of Ping, a frog with a proud heritage who’s ignored the signs of his pond drying up around him, and is stuck in the mud. Forced to leave his home, he makes a leap into the unknown, unprepared for what lies ahead. He’s saved by the elderly, wise Owl, who teaches him physical and mental skills, enabling him to set goals and pursue his dreams despite many setbacks along the way.
In the words of Owl, “Believe you can’t and you won’t. Believe you can and you will. Words form belief; belief forms action.”
The Way of Ping:
In this new adventure, the now legendary Ping has become the teacher. His travels take him to a pond-centered village ruled by Toad the Elder, locked into its provincial view of the villagers, except for two frogs, Daikon and Hodo. They convince Ping to take them on a journey that will change their lives forever. This delightful story captures the fears and doubts faced by all who choose to leave the familiar to make their way in an unknown world, and teaches them to find their true path.
As Ping says, “Years can wrinkle a frog’s skin, but to live without purpose, well, that wrinkles the soul.”
