Folklore and Fairytales: A Donkey in the Well

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.

The rest of the story…

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.

The moral of the story…

“When you do something wrong, and try to cover your ass, it always comes back to bite you.”

Too funny and a rich story about life. Never quit, never surrender.
