A Short Story With a Lesson...

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 so he invited all his neighbors to come over and help him.

They all 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 calmed down.


A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well.

He was astonished at what he saw.

With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing 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 happily trotted off!

MORAL :

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt.

The trick to getting out of the dirt is to shake it off and take a step up.

Each of our troubles is a steppingstone.

We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up!

Shake it off and take a step up !!

AN OPINION.....

We need to bring about changes in our minds, hearts ,souls and spirits first.....the appearance or whatsoever itself follows our heart and mind.........

Great Saying...

"THE LIPS OF WISDOM ARE CLOSED, EXCEPT TO THE EARS OF
UNDERSTANDING"
