    Answer:

                      By reading the poem "The Frog and the Nightingale', it is clear that the nightingale is full of the natural talent of singing. She is simple hearted and has good behaviour also. On the other hand, the frog is a domineering creature and does not have the talent of singing. All the creatures in the bog applause when the nightingale sings. When the frog discusses her song and talent, the nightingale feels greatly flattered and impressed. She rightly assesses her song as having no divinity, but an element of originality, thus, exhibiting her critical acumen. She has a good understanding of music, whereas the frog knows the art of showing off the talent that he does not have. He knows how to earn money and takes control on the nightingale. She is a talented singer, but does not know how to exploit her talent in a correct manner. She is scolded and tortured by the heartless and cruel trainer, who asks her to puff out her lungs with passion to follow the latest fashion of the stage. The nightingale does puff up and she bursts a vein. and dies. The statement 'In today's manipulative world, it does not work to have talent only, you also need to understand how to utilize it properly' is true.
