A Short story...
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 neighbour 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!
Never give up on something that you can’t go a
day without thinking about.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!
