Gone But Not Forgotten
The Donkey In The Well
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 each 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 looked down the well,
and was astonished at what he saw. As every shovel of dirt hit his back,
the donkey did 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 trotted
off.
The 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 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!
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
O.K., that's enough of that B.S. ... The donkey later came back, caught
the farmer out in the field and kicked the shit out of him. Then he went
over to each of his neighbors farms and kicked the shit out of them too
for helping.
The REAL Moral:
When you try to cover your ass, it always comes back to get you.
Artificial Intelligence Is No Match For Natural Stupidity.
