THE DONKEY
There was a donkey who fell into an empty pit hole.
The donkey was sad and for hours, he cried. The farmer wondered how he
would get the beast out of the pit and eventually decided that it was not worth
it. After all, he thought the donkey was old and would eventually have to
be replaced.
He called all his neighbors and asked them to come and
help. With their shovels, they began to take sand and mud and throw it
into the well. The donkey realized what was happening and started to cry
even louder.
To everyone's surprise, the donkey suddenly stopped
crying. The farmer threw some more sand and mud into the pit and decided
to look down to see what was happening. He was amazed at what he saw, for
each shovel of mud that fell onto the donkey he managed to climb up with each
shovel of dirt and making a platform for himself, he stepped over the edge and
galloped away.
The
lesson learned here is to remember:
Life is sometimes like mud with all sorts of dirt thrown at us.
Life is sometimes like mud with all sorts of dirt thrown at us.
The trick is to shake it off and take a step to overcome.
Each of our concerns is a step. We can draw from the
depths and try never to give up.
Shake it off and take a step up.
