Donkey In The Well
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, Hat
The Well Needed To Be Covered Anyway
It Just Wasn't Worth Retrieving The Donkey
So He Invited All His Neighbours To Come Over And Help Him
They All Grabbed Shovels 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 Quietened Down
A Few Shovel Loads Later, The Farmer Finally Looked Down Into The Well
And Was Astonished At What He Saw
With Every Shovel Full Of Dirt That Hit His Back The Donkey Was Doing Something Amazing
He Would Shake The Dirt Off And Take A Step Up
As The Farmer's Neighbours Continued To Shovel Dirt On Top Of The Animal
He Would Shake The Dirt Off And Take Another Step Up
Pretty Soon, Everyone Was Amazed As The Donkey Stepped Up Over The Edge Of The Well And 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
