SMART ASS

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.

  

You have two
choices...smile and close thispage,

or pass this along to
someone else to

spread the fun.
