> > > A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the
> > > top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."
> > > "Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull.
> > > "They're packed with nutrients."
> > > The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him
> > > enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree. The next day, after
> > > eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally, after a
> > > fortnight, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree.
> > > Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the
> > > tree.

> > > Lesson #3
> > > A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the bird
> > > froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there,
> >a
> > > cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in
> > > the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was
> > > actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon
> >began
> > > to sing for joy.
> > > A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following
> >the
> > > sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung and
> >promptly
> > > dug him out and ate him!
> > >
> > > Management Learning:
> > > 1) Not everyone who drops **** on you is your enemy.
> > > 2) Not everyone who gets you out of **** is your friend.
> > > 3) And when you're in deep ****, keep your mouth shut.

> > > Lesson 4
> > > A boy rode on the donkey, and the old man walked. As they went along,
> >they
> > > passed some people who remarked it was a shame the old man was walking
> >and
> > > the boy was riding. The man and boy thought maybe the critics were
> >right,
> > > so they changed positions.
> > > Later, they passed some people who remarked, "What a shame. He makes that
> > > little boy walk." They decided they both would walk!
> > > Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid to walk
> >when
> > > they had a decent donkey to ride. So they both rode the donkey!
> > > Now they passed some people who shamed them by saying how awful it was to
> > > put such a load on a poor donkey. The boy and man said they were probably
> > > right, so they decided to carry the donkey.
> > > As they crossed a bridge, they lost their grip on the animal, and he fell
> > > into the river and drowned.
