Good evening, everyone,
The Donkey and the Well
One day, a farmer’s donkey fell into a well. The animal had been moaning pitifully for hours, and the farmer was wondering what to do.
In the end, he decided that the animal was old and that the well was going to disappear anyway, so it wasn’t worth it for him to retrieve the donkey. He then invited all his neighbors to come and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to bury the well.
At first, the donkey realized what was happening and began to cry out terribly. Then, to everyone's astonishment, it went silent. A few shovels later, the farmer finally looked into the bottom of the well and was surprised by what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that fell on it, the donkey was doing something astonishing. It shook off the dirt from its back and stood on top of it. While the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt onto the animal, it shook it off and stood on top of it. Soon, everyone was amazed to see the donkey out of the well, trotting away.
Life will try to bury you in all kinds of crap. The trick to getting out of the hole is to shake it off and move forward. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone that allows us to progress, and we can climb out of the deepest pits by never stopping... Never give up!
Shake it off and charge forward!
