One day, a farmer's donkey fell into a well.
The animal cried and grieved for hours while the farmer tried to do something to save him.
Eventually, the farmer decided the donkey was too old and the well had been dry for a long time, so getting the donkey out of the well wasn't worth it.
He called his neighbors, and each of them took a shovel and began throwing dirt into the well.
The donkey, realizing what was happening, started crying and growling even louder.
At one point, to everyone's surprise, the donkey stopped complaining after a few plates of dirt.
The farmer looked to the bottom of the well and was amazed at what he saw...
With every palate of dirt, the donkey was doing something incredible: it was hitting the ground with its hooves and taking a step above the ground.
Very soon, everyone saw in surprise the donkey coming to the mouth of the well, stepping over the edge and trotting out.
MORAL. Life will knock you down, but we can get out of the deepest pits if we don't give up. Use the ground they throw you to move forward. Love more, fight more, and let the real as*holes be the others.
