It is said that one should sing one’s own song. Had it been the case with the nightingale in the poem ‘The Frog and the Nightingale’, she would not have died. 

She was timid and lacked self-confidence. That was why she invited the frog’s comments about her song. This was the chance where the frog could trap her. He offered to impart her training for proper singing. Being innocent she did not suspect the frog’s evil designs of killing her by making her sing continuously and even in bad weather that too without proper rest. The frog exploited her and overexerted her. She obeyed his commands innocently and did not think that her song was better than his. 

Ultimately, the frog succeeded in killing her and criticized her as a stupid creature who was nervous, tense and prone to influence and said that she should have known that she must sing her own song
