A story about donkey
 
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried
piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
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!
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to
getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of
our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells
just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step
up.

Two flies fall into a bowl of cream.

One drowns, other thrashes around like mad, turns cream into butter,
and walks out.

Different story, same theme and end result.

some people just don't care if they get their ass outta the hole, so
they always look to someone else for help.

Donkey: We can stay up late, watch Scary Movies, and in the morning,
I'm making waffles!

unfortunately my being up late is not a matter of my choice, my dang
back problems don't allow more than about 1 hour of sleep at a time
plus just had a steroid shot into the nerve gong down the leg and that
stuff gives me insomnia .
the aging process oh how fun, but better than the alternative i guess.
if i lay too long i can't get my donkey outta bed, rig starts settig in.
