One day a farmer was out walking in his field with his donkey.

The farmer was walking a few feet ahead of the donkey when he heard a
terrific crash from behind him. When he turned around, the donkeywas no
where to be seen.

He heard the "eee-awww!!" cries of the donkey echoing from somewhere,
but he could not see where it had gone. Upon some more investigation,
the farmer realized that his donkey had broken through some old wood
fallen into an old abandoned well.

Frustrated and cursing himself for his lack of attention, the farmer
tried to think of a way to get his donkey out of the well. He figured he
might be able to lower a rope down and try to lift the donkey out. But
he was an old man, and he would not have the strenth to do this.
Besides, once the rope was lowered, the donkey would have no way to
grasp the rope!

The farmer decided after some time that, since the donkey was old, and
the well needed to be filled anyway, he would just bury the donkey in
the well. So the man got a shovel and began to fill the well with dirt.
Understandably upset, the donkey began to scream and cry out, "eee-aww!!
EEE-AWW!!!"

Gradually, the cries began to wan, and the farmer just kept
shoveling. Sweating and tired after quite a lot of shovel fulls into the
abandoned will, the farmer decided to take a break and peer into the
well to view his progress.

To the farmer's amazement, the donkey was standing on a large pile of
dirt looking up at the farmer above him. The farmer poured a few more
shovel fulls into the well, and the donkey was doing something
astonishing.

Every time the farmer would pour more dirt into the well, the donkey
would shake off the dirt, take a step up on to the new dirt and look up
at the farmer. So the farmer poured more dirt into the well, and the
donkey shook off the dirt, took a step up, and looked up at the farmer.

And the farmer kept repeating this until the donkey was finally out of
the well!!


So you may be sitting there asking yourself, "Okay, well that was
entertaining, what's the point?"

Here is the moral of the story.

1. Don't give up on solving your problems too easily. Sometimes the
solution comes in mysterious ways. Just try someting and you may find a
great solution where you least expected it.

2. Sometimes when someone has shovelled dirt on you, all you have to do
is shake off that dirt, take a step up, and look up. You simply can not
allow yourself to be buried in little set backs. You can make it through
anything if you have a burning desire.

If you don't believe this. Think of the donkey's desire. After the
farmer's attempt to cover him up, the donkey had the burning desire to
kick the living sh*t out of that bastard farmer, which he did promptly
after getting out of that d*mn well!!!

So that brings us to one final lesson that we can learn from this little
story about the farmer and the donkey.

3. If you make a mistake or get into a jam, it's not wise to try to
COVER YOUR ASS !! It'll probably come back to bite you in the end...
