~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 neighbours 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 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.  As the farmer's neighbours 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

Assalamu'alaikum :)

Thanx, for the story, Princess... I received it in e-mail too :)

Here's the other half of the e-mail :-)

[color=blue]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!

Take every obstacle as an experience to learn and grow from. [/color]

wassalam

Nice story!  But just one question ...

How in the world did the donkey end up in the well???

Sorry ... couldn't resist asking!

Well its kinda like this, the donkey was reading these boards and saw the thread on Arsalans basket ball game, and reading how good Arsalan was, the donkey thought he'd like to be that good, and so tried a fancy slam-dunk, stupidly with himself as the ball, and went straight down the well! ;)

Love you bro! Your an inspeiration to the world ;)
hahhaahah..

Oh man, that was funny, hehehe.  Arsalan is probably regretting the day he mentioned he plays basketball. ;)  Seriously, someone from the board had to have seen Arsalan play at the ISNA tournament.  I want details, a video would be nice as well. :D
