A neighbor suggested he dig a deep pit, cover it with thin plywood, and coax the mule to walk across it. The cover would give way, the mule would crash to the pit's bottom, and soon die of her injuries (out of sight, for the farmer's benefit).<br /><br />So the farmer followed the plan and it seemed to work. The mule vanished from sight and every day he tossed his trash into the pit, thinking he was burying his old friend. Unbeknownst to him, the mule was not dead. She rummaged through each new trash dump for whatever nutrition she could find and climbed over the rest. Several weeks pass, the pit is nearly full, and farmer brings more trash to throw into it, only to find the mule standing beside the pit.<br /><br />Moral of the story: People will play dirty tricks, leave you for dead, and inundate you with their trash. Take what of it you can find to gain strength and climb over the rest.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271248501086241494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461362503880139565.post-16085245462197613342010-10-22T04:18:28.666+02:002010-10-22T04:18:28.666+02:00So glad you posted this story.
