> MORAL LESSON: > 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. > > > NOW -------- > > Enough of that crap . . . > > The donkey later came back and bit the shit out of 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.
