The Path Out of Trouble

(Based on The Potter’s Donkey)

A potter owned a hardworking donkey who faithfully carried loads every day. One stormy afternoon, heavy rain turned the fields muddy, and the donkey became trapped in deep slush. No matter how hard it struggled, escaping seemed impossible.

Seeing this, the potter calmly guided the donkey, showing it how steady steps and patience could help it move forward instead of panicking. Slowly and wisely, the donkey followed the advice and finally freed itself.

From that day on, the donkey understood that honest effort combined with wisdom always leads to success.

Moral: Hard work alone is not enough—patience, honesty, and wisdom help us overcome life’s difficulties.
