A Donkey and a Well

    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, and...well, it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the
    donkey.
    He invited all of his neighbors to come over and help him. They each
    grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well to cover the donkey.
    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 looked down the well, and was
    astonished at what he saw:
    as every shovel of dirt hit his back, the donkey 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 continue to shake it off and would take another step up.
    Pretty soon, everyone was amazed, as the donkey stepped up and out, over
    the
    edge of the well and trotted off.
    The Moral:
    Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt.
    The trick to getting out of your well is to shake off that dirt 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, by never giving up!
    Shake it off and take a step up!
    Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
    1. Free your heart from hatred.
    2. Free your mind from worries.
    3. Live simply.
    4. Give more.
    5. Expect less.
    O.K., enough of that ********. ...
    The donkey later came back, caught the farmer out in his field and kicked
    the crap out of him. Then he went over to each of the neighbors' farms and
    kicked the crap out of them, too for helping the farmer.
    The REAL Moral:
    When you try to cover your ass, it ALWAYS comes back to get you.
