A man is walking a path and his favorite donkey falls into a deep unseen precipice. He tries with all his might but can’t pull it out no matter how hard he tries. He therefore decides to bury the donkey alive.
He begins to shovel soil onto the donkey from above. The donkey feels the load, simply shakes it off, and steps on the fresh earth.
More soil is shoveled onto the donkeys back. The animal shakes it off and steps up. The more the man shoveled, the higher animal rose. By that afternoon, the donkey was grazing in green pastures.
No matter what difficulties we face in life, by shaking off our problems and stepping up and choosing to learn from them, we can rise to graze in GREEN PASTURES.
