Moral of the story

[Speros]

Donkey Story - read right to the end.

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, and the well needed to be covered up anyway, it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel 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 quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what
he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing.He would shake it off and take a step 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 happily 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. 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.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.

Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.

Live simply and appreciate what you have.
Give more.
Expect less

NOW .......
Enough of that crap. 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.

MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON:

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

The bird that didn't fly south for the winter

A small bird sat in a tree on the bottom branch. He wasn't happy there, however being one of this summer's hatchlings he was forced to stay on a lower branch by the older birds.


When it cam time to fly south for the winter he decided to let the others go and stay behind so he could sit on any branch he wanted.


As the cold weather and snow set in the bird began to freeze.


Eventually he fell to the ground.


As fortune would have it a bull passed and dropped a warn fresh cow pat on him. The warmth from the pat thawed the bird out and he was of course happy and revived and began to sing.
 
Unfortunately the farm cat heard the singing and came to investigate, found the bird and pulled it out to eat it. Luckily enough the bird escaped and flew to the very top of the tree.


Well of course he sang and song about his good fortune. After some time the cold got him again and he fell out of the tree dead and frozen!


Four morals to this story:

1. Someone who puts you in the shit isn't necessarily your enemy.
2. Someone who pulls you out of the of shit isn't necessarily your friend.
3. If you're happy and contented in a pile of shit, keep your mouth shut.


Most importantly:


4. Bullshit might get you to the top of the tree however, it wont keep you there!

This is an incredible story!

In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in  Kenya   after graduating from  Northwestern   University  .
On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.
 The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully.
 He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it.
 As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife,
 after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.
 The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments.
 Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled.
 Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away.
 Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.
  Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son.
 As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and
 walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing.
 The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down.
 The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.
 Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant.
 Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure.
 He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder.
 The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs
 and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.
  Probably wasn't the same fucking elephant.
