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

finish the story...
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.
