Question

One day a farmer’s donkey fell into an unwanted well. The animal cried for hours as the farmer tried to find out what to do. Finally, he decided it just wasn’t worth saving because the animal was too old and the well needed to be covered up anyway.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They each held a shovel(鐵鏟) and began to shovel dirt(泥土) into the well. At first the donkey cried loudly when he realized what was happening. Then, a few shovel-fulls later, he quieted down completely. The farmer looked down into the well, and was greatly surprised 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. Pretty soon, to the great surprise of everyone, the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and walked off fast.

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The good way of getting out of the well is to stop crying, and not to let the dirt bury(埋葬) 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(最深的) wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.
