THE MORAL OF THE DONKEY

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 the effort to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his friends and 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 out terribly. Then he suddenly quieted down. After a many more shovel loads, the farmer looked in the well to see the progress. He was astonished at what he saw.

With every shovel of dirt that hit the donkey’s back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake off the dirt and take a step up. As the farmer’s friends and neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would continue shake it off and step up.

Amazingly it wasn’t long before the donkey stepped 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 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!

P.S. The donkey later came back and kicked the CRAP out of the farmer that tried to bury him.

Moral: When you try to cover your ass, it always comes back to get you.
