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 all 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 finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he
saw.
With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing
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 happily trotted off!
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 steppingstone.
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
- Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.
3. Live
simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less
NOW --------
Enough of that cr*p . .
The donkey later came back and bit the sh*t out
of
the farmer who had tried to bury him. The gash from the
bite got
infected, and the farmer eventually died in
agony from
septic shock.
MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON:
When you do something wrong and try to cover
your
ass, it always comes back to bite you.
