Donkey saved itself

One day, a donkey of a farmer fell into a well that was bone dry carefulllessly. The farmer tried to save the donkey but a few hours later the donkey still cried in the well. Eventually the farmer decided to give up. He thought that the donkey was so old that it wasn’t worth being saved with so much trouble. But anyway, the well should be filled. So the farmer asked his neighbours to help him bury the donkey in the well together to relieve its pains. The neighbours had a shovel in each one’s hand and began to shovel soil into the well.

When the donkey understood its situation, it cried sadly at first. But surprisingly it calmed down soon. The farmer looked down in the well with curiousity and what he saw amazed him a lot: when the soil shoveled into the well fell on the back of the donkey, its reaction surprized everybody—it shook off the soil and set it aside then stood on the soil stack! Like this, the donkey shook all the soil off and stood on it. Soon the donkey rose up proudly and ran away in people’s surprising expressions.

As with the situation of the donkey, on the life journey, it is hard to avoid that we fall into the “well which is bone dry” or all kinds of “soil” drop on us. The secrets of escaping from the “wells” are shaking off the soil and standing on it!

In fact, all the difficulities we meet in our life are the “soil” drop on us. However, seeing them on another angle, they can be powers. As long as we shake them off continually, we can be safe even we fall into the deepest well.
