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!
