STORY -- DONKEY THAT DROPPED IN THE 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 theanimal was old, and the
well needed to be covered up anyway; it just
wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and
help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began
to shovel dirt into the well. 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. He was astonished at
what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit
his back, the donkey was doing something
amazing. He would shake it off and take a
step up.
As the farmer's neighbors continued toshovel
dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it
off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone
was amazed as the donkey stepped up over
the edge of the well and happily trotted off!
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 offand take a step up. Each
of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get
out of the deepest wells just by notstopping,
never giving up! Shake it offand take a step
up.
InshALLAH we will find it easy to implement
these in our lives :) Aameen
