One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal criedpiteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to becovered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They allgrabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, thedonkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, toeveryone's amazement he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. Hewas astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit hisback, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off andtake a step up.As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of theanimal, he would shake it off and take a step up.
Pretty soon, everyonewas amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well andhappily trotted off!Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick togetting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each ofour troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wellsjust by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.
