> 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 the animal 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 to shovel

> 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!

>

> Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds

> Of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well

> Is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of

> Our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out

> Of the deepest wells just by not stopping,

> Never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.
