- Ass In Hole -

This is the donkey; Alice

                 ... follows the rabbit into a hole in the ground

                 ... and this is;

             The beginning of a new fairytale

                    ~  I want to paint it yellow and blue

                               ... and send it to you  ~

           In short;

           All cultures have stories about how

           fairy tales

           come to the people

The Donkey
November 18, 2011



One day a donkey's ass fell into a well. The animal cried miserably for hours while the farmer tried to figure out what had to be done. In the end, he decided that the animal was old and the well needed to be filled again. It was not worth taking up the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to help him. They got a shovel each and began to dig up soil and dump into the well. The donkey immediately understood what happened and used his last strength. Then it became absolutely silent to everyone's amazement.
A few shovels later, the farmer finally saw down the well. He was surprised at what he saw. For every spade of soil that landed on the back of the donkey, it made something amazing. The donkey shakes the soil of the back and took a step up
While the peasant's neighbors continued to fill up the well, the donkey did exactly the same and took another step up. Pretty soon, the donkey surprised everyone to step out of the well and run happily away.
Morality:
There is a lot of dirt in life .... All sorts of dirt. The trick to get out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Every problem we have is a rock that we can continue on. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping and never giving up. Shake it off and take a step up!

Remember five simple rules for happiness:
1. Free yourself from hate - forgive
2. Free the mind from worries - most never happen
3. Live easily and appreciate what you have
4. Give more
5. Expect less from people, but more from God

Anne-Lise, you have always been one of my favorite poets and one of my greatest supports and encouragement over the years. Like our dear friend John aka lim'rik flats, I did a double take when I saw the title of your poem. But the irony of its message showed me that you are truly the angel I have always thought you to be.

A great inspirational story Anne-Lise. I sometimes wish I shared your optimism for life, but then, if I did I wouldn't be me.
