3. 3
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a
well. The animal cried piteously for hours
as the farmer tried to figure out a way
to get him out.

4. 4
Finally the farmer
decided it was
probably
impossible and the
animal was old and
the well was dry
anyway, so it just
wasn't worth it to
try and retrieve
the donkey.

5. 5
So the farmer asked his neighbors to come
over and help him cover up the well. They all
grabbed shovels and began
to shovel dirt into the well.

6. 6
At first, when
the donkey
realized what
was happening
he cried
horribly. Then,
to everyone's
amazement, he
quieted down
and let out
some happy
brays.

7. 7
A few shovel
loads later,
the farmer
looked down
the well to
see what was
happening
and was
astonished at
what he saw.

8. 8
With every shovel of dirt that hit his
back, the donkey was shaking it off
and taking a step up. (Shifting)

9. 9
As the farmer's neighbors continued to
shovel dirt on top of the animal, he
continued to shake it off and take a step
up. Pretty soon, to everyone's amazement,
the donkey stepped up over the edge of
the well and trotted off!

Moral : Every adversity can be turned into a stepping
stone. The way to get out of the deepest well is by never
giving up but by shaking yourself off
and taking a step up.
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.
