SMART ASS
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 neighbours 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 quieted 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 neighbours 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!
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.
Remember the five simple rules to
be happy:
Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
Free your
mind from worries - Most never happen.
Live simply and appreciate what
you have.
Give more.
Expect less.
NOW ...........
Enough of that crap .
. The donkey later came back, and bit the farmer who
had tried to bury him. The gash from the bite got infected and the farmer
eventually died in agony from septic shock..
MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON:
When you do something wrong, and try to
cover your ass, it always comes back to bite you.
You have two choices...smile and leave no comment, or leave me a comment and pass this along to someone else to spread the fun.
Happy Friday!
