I read a story when i had determined to choose an allegory for my daughter yesterday.It is about a farmer and a donkey.The content of as follows:

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 to give up to rescue the donkey considering that it wasnot worth it to pull out  because the donkey was olde and the well needed  to be covered up anyway. So he invited all his neighbors to come over and help him.They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt in 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.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 donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off!

Life is going to shovel dirt on you , all kinds od dirt.The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off nad take a step up.Each of our troubles is a stepping stone.we can't get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping,never giving up!Shake it off and take a step up!
