Shake It Off


Shake It Off

 

Once upon a time, a farmer’s donkey fallen down into a well.  While he was trying to figure out what to do, the poor donkey was braying for hours.  Finally, the farmer decided not to rescue the donkey; therefore, he decided to close-off the well, because the donkey was too old and not worth the rescue.  The farmer asked neighbors for help; each neighbor  came to help him, and took a shovel and began to throw down soil into the well, to fill the well.  When the helpless donkey noticed what the people were doing, it started  braying even louder.   Suddenly, silence took place instead of the screams by the donkey. After the neighbors were throwing many shovels of soil into the well, the farmer looked down into the well and couldn’t believe what he saw.

The smart donkey was shaking off the soil from on top of himself, and stepping on it, so that he was preparing a sort of hill in order to climb the well.  As long as the neighbors and the farmer were throwing soil into the well, the donkey was stamping on top of the soil.  Eventually, the intelligent donkey took its last step beyond the edge of the well, to step onto ground level, under everyone’s astonishments.

Life may throw dirt on you all the time, with all that shit.  The secret to get out of a mess is to shake of the dirt, and go up one step.  Even if you are in a deepest well, don’t give up, shake it off and rise a little more.
