HMMMMMM:
hmm.....a good lesson to learn
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, and
was
astonished at what he saw. With every 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 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.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
Enough of that. The donkey later came back and kicked the crap out of the
farmer that tried to bury him.
Moral: When you try to cover your ass, it always comes back to get you.
