Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the Well needed to be covered up anyway; It just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and Help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began To shovel dirt into 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. He was astonished at what He saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his Back, the donkey was doing something amazing. 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 the donkey Stepped up over the edge of the well and Happily trotted off!

"Nature always wears the colors of the spirit." -
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
K. Gibran
In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.
John Muir
"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves."
These two out of state hunters were hunting in Montana and had the good fortune to bag a nice buck deer. They had been dragging the deer for about an hour when they were approached by a game warden. The warden asked to see their hunting licenses and all was in order. After conversing for a few moments, the game warden said to them, "I noticed you were gragging the deer by the hind legs. You are pulling against the grain of the hair by doing that. Now if you drag by the antlers, you will be pulling with the grain of the hair and it will drag much easier". The two hunters thanked him for the advise and stated pulling by the antlers. They found it was much easier and after an hour, the two hunters stopped, looked at each other and one said to the other, "Ya know, that game warden, he ain`t so smart, we are right back where we started"!
Every day for about a week, I would go to a local lake, get in my boat and motor to the far end. Every day upon returning to the dock, a game warden friend would greet me and asked to see my catch. I had my limit of large fish every day and he was amazed by that. Finally one day he asked me how I was so successful and what kind of bait I was using. I told him if he would like to see, he could go out with me the next day. So, the next morning we met at the dock and motored to the far end of the lake. I stopped the boat, reached into my tackle box and pulled out a stick of dynamite. His eyes got real large and asked me what I was going to do with that. I lit the fuse and threw it into the lake. BOOM! A large bunch of fish floated to the top and I scooped up my limit and put them in the boat. He could not believe his eyes and told me that was illegal and friend or not, he was going to arrest me and write up a healthy fine. I told him ya have to do what you have to do. About that time, I reach into my tackle box and pull out another stick of dynamite. I light it and handed it to him and said "Well, you going fishing or what"!
Inventions There now follows a list of inventions. They were the brainchildren of the Kerry man who was history's unluckiest producer of lemonade. Over the years he came up with 4-up, 5-up, 6-up and then stopped! And if that isn't bad enough, look at other things he produced:
The first man married a woman from Tulsa . He told her that she was to do the dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple of days, but on the third day, he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put away.
The second man married a woman from Boise . He gave his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes and the cooking. The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done and there was a huge dinner on the table.
The third man married a girl from New Jersey . He ordered her to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed, and hotmeals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything but by the third day, some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, and his arm was healed enough that he could fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher.
