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
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 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 happily trotted off!
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:
- Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
- Free your mind from worries - Most never
happens. - Live simply and appreciate what you have.
- Give more.
- Expect less from people but more from
yourself
Nice story that illustrates an important lesson.
