One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal
cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out
what to do. Finally he decided the animal was old, and the
well needed to be covered up anyway, it just wasn't worth it
to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come
over and help him. They each grabbed a shovel and began
to shovel dirt into the well.
At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried
horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer looked down the well,
and was astonished at what he saw. As every shovel of dirt
hit his back, the donkey did something amazing. He would
shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbors
continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake
it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed,
as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted
off.
The Moral:
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to
getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each
of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest
wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a
step up!
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
O.K., that's enough of that B.S. ... The donkey later came back,
caught the farmer out in the field and kicked the sh1t out of him.
Then he went over to each of his neighbors farms and kicked the
sh1t out of them too for helping.
The REAL Moral:
When you try to cover your ass, it always comes back to get you. :wave:
