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.
