the Donkey
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 the 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 into the well, and was
astonished at what he saw. As every shovel of dirt hit his back, the
donkey 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
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.
OK, that's enough of that crap. The donkey later came back, caught the
farmer out in the field and kicked the crap out of him. Then he went over
to each of the neighbors farms and kicked the crap out of them for helping.
The REAL Moral: When you try to cover your ass, it always comes back to get
you!!!!!!!!
