Smart Donkey
A Good Moral to Live by...
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
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:
1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less
NOW --------
Enough of that crap . .
The donkey later came back and bit the **** out of
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
***, it always comes back to bite you.
