THE DONKEY
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. Theanimal cried piteously for hours as the farmer triedto figure out what to do. Finally, he decided theanimal was old, and the well needed to be covered upanyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve thedonkey.
He invited all his neighbours to come over and helphim. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shoveldirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized whatwas happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone'samazement he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally lookeddown the well. He was astonished at what he saw. Witheach shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey wasdoing something amazing. He would shake it off andtake a step up.
As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt ontop of the animal, he would shake it off and take astep up. Pretty soon,everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over theedge of the well and happily trotted off!
MORAL :Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds ofdirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shakeit off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is asteppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wellsjust by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it offand take a step up.
