Shake off your Problems and Go Ahead | Story of a Donkey and His Master

moral story of a donkey

Once upon a time, there was a man who lived with a donkey. He loved his donkey very much, wherever he go, he take his donkey with him. One day the man was walking with his loving donkey, through a narrow path. The donkey was enjoying the walk, suddenly, he fell into a deep hole on the ground. The donkey started crying for his master's help. The man tried hard to get it out but he failed in his all attempts to pull it out from the hole. He was very upset and felt bad about his donkey's condition.

The man was visualizing his favorite donkey's death by starvation and pain, the man decided to bury it alive to give him a less painful death. He went his home to take spade and help of some people. The people started digging the land and pouring soil onto the donkey to bury it alive. When the donkey saw, the people throwing soil on him, he immediately realized what was going to happen and he started crying even louder. But, no one payed attention on his crying and continue to throw dirt on him.

 After some time, the donkey stopped crying and stayed calm. The man looked down in the hole and surprised on what he saw: every time the people poured dirt into the hole, instead letting the dirt pile up on him, the donkey shook off the dirt from his back and stepping up onto it. He continued this process and very soon he stepped up and out from the whole, shook the final clumps of dirt from his back and walked to his master who greeted him with tears and love.

Moral of the Story: In life, we may be thrown many types of dirt on us in the form of negative comments, just shake it off and take a step up to rise towards success. We can get out from the biggest problems not by getting frustrated and giving up on problem but by learning from them.
