BFF Josie passed along this interesting donkey story. Thanks, amiga!
MORAL FOR THE DAY:
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 INVITEDALL HIS NEIGHBORS TO COME OVER AND
HELP HIM. THEYALL GRABBED A SHOVEL AND BEGAN
TO SHOVEL DIRT INTO THE WELL. AT FIRST, THE
DONKEY REALIZED WHAT WAS HAPPENINGAND 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 THATHIT HIS
BACK, THE DONKEY WAS DOING SOMETHING AMAZING.
HE WOULD SHAKE IT OFFAND TAKE A STEP UP.
AS THE FARMER'S NEIGHBORS CONTINUED TO SHOVELDIRT ON TOP OF THE ANIMAL, HE WOULD SHAKE IT
OFFAND TAKE A STEP UP.
PRETTY SOON, EVERYONE WAS AMAZED AS THE DONKEY
STEPPED UPOVER 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 OFFAND TAKE A STEP UP. EACH OF
OUR TROUBLES IS A STEPPINGSTONE. WE CANGET OUT
OF THE DEEPEST WELLS JUST BY NOT STOPPING,
NEVER GIVING UP! SHAKE IT OFFAND TAKE A STEP UP.
REMEMBER THE FIVE SIMPLE RULES TO BE HAPPY:
FREE YOUR HEART FROM HATRED - FORGIVE.
FREE YOURMIND FROM WORRIES - MOST NEVER HAPPEN.
LIVE SIMPLYAND 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.
