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:
Free your heart from hatred
- Forgive
Free your mind from worries
- Most never happen
Live simply and appreciate
what you have
Give more
Expect less
NOW .............
Enough of that crap . . .
The donkey later came back,
and bit 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.
You have two choices...smile

someone else to
spread the fun.
