I received this the other day and I thought it would be good to share:
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
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.
