The Donkey.............Sorry if it offends, it made ME Laugh at the END anyway :-)
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!
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 steppingstone. 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
happen.
Live simply and
appreciate what you have.
Give
more.
Expect
less
NOW
............
Enough of that
crap . .
The donkey later came
back,
and bit 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 ass, it always
comes back to bite you.
