The animal cried and cried for hours while the farmer tried to do something to save it.
Finally, the farmer decided that the donkey was too old and the well had long since dried up, so pulling the donkey out of the well wasn’t worth it.
He called his neighbors, and each of them took a shovel and began throwing earth into the well.
The donkey, realizing what was happening, began to cry
and growl even louder.
At one point, to everyone’s surprise, the donkey stopped complaining after a few throws of dirt.
The farmer looked down the well and was amazed at what he saw…
With each throw of earth, the donkey did something incredible: it struck the ground with its hooves and took a step above the ground.
Very quickly, everyone saw with surprise the donkey come to the mouth of the well, climb over the edge and trot out.
Moral of the story: Life will knock you down, but we can climb out of the deepest pits if we don’t give up. Use the soil they throw at you to move forward. Love more, fight more, and leave the real nobodies behind.
