Once upon a time in a village there lived a farmer with an old donkey. This donkey served its entire life with utmost sincerity to the farmer. On one fine evening, the farmer and the donkey were taking a walk back home through the farm land. Suddenly, the tired donkey trembled and fell into a dry well. He started braying loud with sustained injuries. The farmer thought for a while – “This donkey is already very old and it would cost me damn money to pull him out of the dry well. Also, he does not have a costly insurance like me”….”Go to hell donkey, I will bury you live in this well itself”. Then, the farmer enthusiastically began to cover the dry well with the shovel in hand. Villagers gathered around to watch the plight of the poor donkey. They cursed the farmer for being very cruel. The donkey was deep in pain; not over his injuries but over his Master’s spiteful nature. He struggled for a while and then an idea struck in its mind. He jibed around the inside of the well whenever the mud fell on him. The farmer got irritated and frantically threw more mud inside the well. Slowly, the dried well started filling up with more mud and now the smart donkey was on top of it. The farmer was totally exhausted, threw his shovel and fell to the ground. Villages cheered the donkey which emerged successfully like a phoenix out of the ashes. They praised the donkey for its smartness (Kick Ass dude!!!!!). Hearing the villagers outcry, the farmer stood up and went on to hug his smart ass. The donkey turned around at the foolish farmer, slapped him on his face with its powerful paws and went on its way.
Moral of the story: When you try to cover your ass, you get slapped on the face
Just kidding !!! Whatever be the circumstances in life, if we patiently think for a moment, we could find a solution to the problems in our life.
