One day a farmer's donkey fell into a well.
\nThe animal screamed desperately for hours and the farmer tried to figure out what to do.<\/p>\n
Finally, he decided that the animal was old, and the expense required to get it out of the well was great. It wasn't worth trying to save the donkey. All he thought of doing was burying it alive.<\/p>\n
He called all his neighbors to come and help him. They all took a shovel and started throwing dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and let out a horrible cry. But then, to everyone's surprise, he calmed down. A few loads of soil later, the farmer looked down the well and he was amazed at what he saw.<\/strong><\/p>\n It was something amazing!! The farmer's neighbors continued to throw shovelfuls of dirt at the animal, and it each time he shook himself and took a step up.<\/strong> Very soon, everyone was amazed that the donkey had reached the surface of the well.<\/p>\n Moral:<\/strong> Life can throw you many shovelfuls of trash into your life well. But remember that each of these problems is a springboard. You can get out of the deepest wells with just a shake. You step on the problem and take a step up. And one more step. And step by step you will be led towards the light and your goal!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\nWith each shovelful of dirt that fell on his back, the donkey shook and took a step up.<\/p>\n
