Donkey and its master

I liked this story very much. This story was told by shri Azim Premji during Annual Convocation of IIM,Ahmedabad.

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 begin 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 and was astonished at
what he saw. With every shovel of dirt that fell on his back, the donkey was
doing some thing 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 totted off!

So this donkey amazed me by changing at the time when it was needed most.
