The title of this article is The Farmer’s Donkey. The topic is about being pushed down, and treated badly but still getting back up and keeping a positive attitude. In the story, a farmer’s donkey fell into a well and the farmer thought there was no way he could help the donkey out. To prevent this from happening to any other animals in the future, the farmer began to fill the well with dirt. Instead of the donkey letting the farmer bury him alive, the donkey would shake off every pile of dirt thrown on to him and take a step up, the donkey kept doing that until he reached the top and was free.
I agree with this article, when having a bad time...having a bad attitude does not do anything but make the situation worse. All you can do is keep a positive attitude and hope for the best. This volleyball season was not the best season. We did not win many games and although losing was tough, we could not just give up. We had to keep a positive attitude and keep our heads up. Never giving up helped us to at least give the other team some competition and help us win a few games.
In the future, if I am having a bad day or feel like giving up I will remember this article to help me keep a positive attitude. I will remember how the donkey picked himself up instead of just laying there, left to die. I will do the same, no matter how hard it is. I will push through it with a smile and keep my head up. This story applies to our chapter because this chapter is all about attitude, if you have a better attitude it is more likely for better things to work out for you.
Astonished: adj : filled with the emotional impact of overwhelming surprise or shock.
