A Common Random Story

Almost all have suffered upsets, dissapointments, things not going the way they were supposed to go etc etc. i have had my share of the above and more and i know there are ppl out there who have more riding on them than i can possibly imagine or wish to replicate. But when the world turns against you, the going gets tough and that is probably when accustations and critisism start flying in your direction. but dont let your head drop low, rise aginst the tide and fight it. These things are shown in a simple story of a donkey(as always) and a farmer(again as always)........

The story goes as this... 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(snd stones) 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. If a donkey can do it, we being the superior humans can do much better.. cant we ??????
