THE BACKYARD — A daunting foe. A precarious climb. A lucky escape. A brave ... frog?
It might seem like something out of a fairy tale, but this epic story could be happening in your backyard. Our hero, a small frog with incredibly sticky hands, made its great escape up a backyard fence, while a snake is hanging onto the frog's foot with the brute strength of its jaws.
The frog slowly carries the snake up the fence before his foot miraculously slips out of the snake's mouth, and the frog hops happily — and very quickly — away.

As the saying goes, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and this frog does seem quite strong, which will come in handy for any future encounters with the dangerous garden snake.
Just like all great fairy tales, there's something to be learned from our frog's story. The human equivalent of this snake encounter might be a bear? Or a cougar? Or that looming deadline that you've been ignoring as it drags you down by the foot?
Whatever your snake is, the lesson from this video is one of two things: Never give up or never skip arm day at the gym. Regardless, let it be motivation to make it through yet another Monday.

There was more than once during this video that I started yelling, "Witch!" at the screen.
