JOKE OF THE DAY
The Lucky Donkey
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 is 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
