Re: [mylifeismine] A Donkey's Tale

Perhaps the key  to our personal happiness can be attributed to the way we treat each other. If we always treat each other with dignity and respect then there would be much less unhappiness and a lot more peace and harmony in our lives

 

Thats how I see it.

Hi All,

I don't usually forward fables - but this one is
beautiful!

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!

MORAL: 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.

Perry
