“91st story”
First published: May.16.2019
A donkey worked very hard for an old man for years. The donkey was getting old and was no longer as fast as young days, but he was still loyal and tried hard to do the usual daily tasks so he wouldn’t be a burden.
One day, the donkey fell into a deep well in the old man’s farm.
The old man ran towards the sound of the donkey’s cry.
The old man realized getting the donkey out would be impossible.
He thought: “The donkey was old. He wanted to buy a young donkey soon. This well was dried and he wanted to fill and dig a new one. So, he will kill two birds with one stone, filling the well and burying the old donkey.”
The old man asked his neighbours to come and help him. The neighbours started throwing soil into the well.
When the donkey realized what awaited him, he began to cry loudly. But no one paid any attention. The smart donkey stepped on the soil they were dropping into the well.
After a while when everyone looked carefully noticed, that the donkey had shaken off the soil that had fallen on its back. The donkey ended up on the surface and jumped out of the well.
Life presents us with challenges, we just have to find a way to climb out of them and not allow them to bury us.
those photos reminded me of how southeastern Turkey looks.
I get the photos from pixabay, it’s free. Thanks for your kind visit Jim dear.🌸
Wonderful story.
It reminds me of the Urdu story, in which animal was dog.
It shows story is a vagabond.

I’d be tempted to bite the man when I got to the surface. 🙂
He was very ungrateful and cruel, I don’t like these kind of people. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.🌸

People do not only talk about successes, they talk about people who overcame their challenges or disabilities. Others are inspired when you are able to overcome your challenges.

The donkey certainly was determined to live and to carry on, but I hope the old man didn’t abandon him still for a younger one. An Interesting and inspiring story, Laleh.
The old man wasn’t appreciative and kind. No one is that heartless. Appreciate your comment dear.❤️

This is such a powerfull story! It’s the first time I visit your site and to me your stories are really inspiring. Thank you for writing this down, I’m fan
You’re so very kind my dear friend, welcome and I will visit your site for sure.❤️❤️❤️
Ho provato comunque pena per quella che avrebbe potuto essere la fine dell’asino e vergogna per la disumanità del contadino che rispecchia l’indifferenza di questo mondo soprattutto oggi.
