The Donkey in the Well


One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well that the farmer had accidentally left uncovered. 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, so 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.

With everything that has happen to us, we can either feel sorry for ourself or treat what has happened as a gift.....
Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to us from growing...we have to choose!!

Remember five simple rules to be HAPPY :

Free your heart from hatred 
Free your mind from worries 
Live simply and appreciate what you have
Give more
Expect less


Now, most people think that's the end, but it isn't.

The donkey later came back and bit the shit out of 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.

So the real moral from today's lesson?

When you do something wrong and try to cover your ass, it always comes back to bite you...it's karma.....Setiap perkara jahat yang dilakukan pasti mendapat balasan daripada Allah...kalau bukan di dunia, di akhirat nanti....tapi sekarang balasn Allah sangat cepat....kt dunia lagi dah dibayar'cash'....kan
