The Farmer And His 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 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
bcried 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 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. _________________
