A farmer’s donkey fell into a well.
The animal cried while the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally, he decided that the animal was too old and the well needed to be covered up anyway. He asked his neighbors to help him shovel dirt into the well.
Upon realizing what was happening, the donkey wailed horribly. Then, to everyone’s surprise, it quietened down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer looked into the well and was astonished at what he saw. With every shovel of dirt that hit its back, the donkey would shake it off and take a step up. This continued as more and more dirt was shoveled into the well.
Finally, to everyone’s amazement, the donkey stepped over the edge of the well and trotted off happily.
Life is going to shovel all kinds of dirt on you and me.
Each of our troubles represents a stepping stone. The trick to getting out of a deep hole is to look on the positive side of things: never give up, shake off the dirt, and take a step up.
Happy climbing!
