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
neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to
shovel dirt into the well.
At first, the donkey realised 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, and was astonished at what he
saw.
With every 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
neighbours 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!
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.
Enough of that crap.
The donkey later came back and kicked the sh** out of the farmer
that tried to bury him.
Moral: When you try to cover your ass, it always comes back to get
you.
