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.yours too… Finally he decided since the animalwas old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway, it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. So, the farmer invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed shovels, and began to shovel dirt into the well.
All the other farm animals were very upset about this, because the donkey was their friend. But they discovered there was nothing they could do to help him. At first, when the donkey realized what was happening, he cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well, and was astonished at what he saw.
With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off, and take a step up on the dirt as it piled up. 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, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well, and trotted off!
MORAL: Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. But each trouble can be a stepping stone. What happens to you isn't nearly as important as how you react to it. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not giving up!
Shake it off, and take a step up!

this is a horrible story even though I understand what is is trying to say.
The image of humans pouring dirt over a crying, suffering individual is just horrible.
I realize it's a fictional story to stress a point, but I've seen and know of many such cruel, mean acts perpetrated by humans which aren't fictional. The image of the donkey being killed slowly rings way too true, no matter that he used the dirt as a stepping stone.
Other wouldn't.
I don't see why you couldn't have come up with something less ugly.

Frankly speaking its seriously pathetic.
The Moral is good but there could be a better content and story to support it.First thought of imagining something like that itself is so dreadful.
Need Good Content Boss.This won't work that too being posted as the first look for the blog.
