The Horse that Fell Into a Hole

Life is Good

There once was a horse that was walking through the woods one dark night. The horse was upset about how his life had turned out, and having to walk home in the darkness made him even more so. He wondered if life was worth living.

All of a sudden, the horse fell into a deep dark hole.

The horse screamed, “Help! It is so dark down here, and I can’t get out.” No one answered.

The horse screamed again and again, “Please, someone help me!” “I have fallen down into a deep, dark pit, and I cannot get out.” Still no one answered.

The horse then started to panic. He thought, “I am never going to get out of the hole. I will die here!’

The horse started to fight against the darkness and depth of the pit. He kicked the sides as he jumped and screamed, “Help me!”

The dirt was flying everywhere. He kicked, jumped and screamed more and more.  And before the horse could realize what he was doing, he was staring at the top of the hole. He had dug himself out of the predicament he was in.

The horse smiled and trotted off home, realizing that life was so good after all.
