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 begin 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 fell on his back, the donkey was doing some thing 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
totted off ! Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick is too not
to get bogged down by it. We can get out of the deepest wells by not stopping.
And by never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up !
