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 that since the animal was old, it wasn't worth retrieving it.
He invited neighbors to come over and help him just fill in the hole. They all
grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realised
what was happening it cried even more.
Then, to everyone's amazement he went quiet.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished.
With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey would shake it off and take
a step up. As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel, he stepped up further.
Eventually the donkey stepped out of the well and trotted off!
Life is going to shovel dirt on you. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and step out. Each of our troubles is a stepping-stoneand we can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping--never giving up! Shake it off and take that step up.
Remember the five simple rules to being happy:
