>   The Donkey in the Well
>   One day, a farmer's donkey falls into a well. The animal cries
>   piteously
>   for hours as the farmer tries to figure out what to do. Finally,
>   he
>   decides
>   that the animal is old, and the well needs to be covereds up
>   anyway, it
>   just isn't worth the effort to retrieve the donkey.
>   He invites all his neighbors to come over and help him cover uo
>   the
>   well.
>   They each grab a shovel and begin to shovel dirt into the well.
>   At
>   first,
>   the donkey realizes their intention and cries out horribly. But
>   to their
>   amazement, he suddenly becomes silent.
>   They shovel in more dirt and the farmer looks into the well.
>   What he
>   sees
>   astonishes him.
>   The donkey shakes the dirt off his back and takes one step up!
>   As the
>   farmer and his neighbors continue to shovel in dirt, they are
>   all amazed
>   when eventually the donkey steps up over the well wall and trots
>   off!

>   The Moral: Life is going to shovel all kinds of dirt on you. 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 and we can get out of
>   the
>   deepest
>   wells just by not stopping, never giving up!
>
>   Shake it off and take a step up! Remember the five simple rules
>   for
>   happiness:
>   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 the B.S.
>   The donkey later comes back, catching the farmer alone in the
>   field, and
>   proceeds to kick the shhh out of him!
>   Then he goes over to each of the neighbors farms, and kick the
>   shhh out
>   of
>   each of them for helping!
>
>   The REAL Moral of the Story:
>   When you try to cover your ass, it always comes back to bite
>   you!
