One day a farmer's donkey fell down into an old 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 old 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 stepping stone. 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 your enemies.
Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.
Live simply and appreciate what you have.
Give more to help people. Remember that you cannot take anything with you when you die.
Do not expect any return.
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.
Note: I am not the author of the original version.

1.Free your mind from hatred and forgive your enemy- Try that in a WAR!
2. Forget all worries- when we diagnosed we have Alzheimer!
3. Live simply and appreciate life - When we have found our WISDOM and fulfilled our round the World Tour.
4. Give more as you leave everything behind when we die.- When we know we are going die tomorrow.
5. Do not expect any return when good deeds been offered to ohers.-Try this when you are hungry and lose hope.
And the dead farmer died smiling.
When we do something wrong, and try to cover our ass,it always come back to bite us -
When we have uncovered better ways by covering our own ass by systematically documenting all we do
and blaming others in the process.
Just a light hearted comment , have a happy weekend.

The story continues……Due to hatred; the villagers go out to hunt and burn the donkey.
The ending of the story contradicts with its positive lesson - “Free your heart from hatred – Forgive your enemies”. The donkey should be grateful to farmer for his "silly" act, the donkey can come out from the well.
From google-Matthew 5:39 :If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.
