[font=Arial,Helvetica][size=+2]The Donkey And The Well.......[/size][/font]

[font=Arial,Helvetica][size=+1]One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well.[/size][/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica][size=+1]The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.[/size][/font]

[font=Arial,Helvetica][size=+1]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.[/size][/font]

[font=Arial,Helvetica][size=+1]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 and was astonished at what he saw.[/size][/font]

[font=Arial,Helvetica][size=+1]With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.[/size][/font]

[font=Arial,Helvetica][size=+1]As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up.[/size][/font]

[font=Arial,Helvetica][size=+1]Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off![/size][/font]

[font=Arial,Helvetica][size=+1]Moral: 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 giving up! Shake it off and take a step up![/size][/font]

[font=Arial,Helvetica][size=+1]Remember the five simple rules to be happy:[/size][/font] [font=Arial,Helvetica][size=+1] Free your heart from hatred.[/size][/font]

[font=Arial,Helvetica][size=+1]Live simply.[/size][/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica][size=+1]Give more.[/size][/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica][size=+1]Expect less[/size][/font]

Kind of like the mouse that fell into a big bowl of milk. He kept swimming and after long enough the milk churned into butter and he climbed out! =)
