One day a farmer’s donkey fell into an abandoned well.The animal cried piteouslyfor hours as the farmer tried to figured out what to do.Finally，he decided the animal was too old and the well needed to covered up anyway；so it just was‘t worth it to him to try to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him.They each grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.Realizing what was happening，the donkey at first cried and wailed horribly. Then，a few shovel-fullslater，hequiteted down completely.The farmer peered down into the well，and was astounded by what he saw.With every shovel-full of dirt that hit his back，the donkey would shake it off and take a step up on the new layer of dirt. As the farmer’s neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal，he would shake it off and take a step up.Prettysoon，the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off，to the shock and astonishment of everyone. Life is going to shovel dirt on you，all kinds of dirt.The trick to getting out of the well is to stop wailing，and not let the dirt bury you，but to shake it off and take a step up.Each one of our troubles is a stepping-stone.We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stoping，never giving up！Shake it off and take a step up.2.
