>>>> 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.
>>>>  
>>>>  
>>>> Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
>>>>  
>>>>  
>>>> Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
>>>>  
>>>>  
>>>> Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.
>>>>  
>>>>  
>>>> Live simply and appreciate what you have.
>>>>  
>>>>  
>>>> Give more.
>>>>  
>>>>  
>>>> Expect less.
>>>>  
>>>>  
>>>> 
>>>> NOW...
>>>>  
>>>>  
>>>> Enough of that crap. . .The donkey later came back
>>>> and bit the farmer who had tried to bury him.
>>>> The gash from the bite got infected and 
>>>> the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock..
>>>>  
>>>>  
>>>> MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON:
>>>>  
>>>>  
>>>> When you do something wrong,
>>>> and try to cover your ass,
>>>> it always comes back to bite you.
>>>>
