Teamwork: Tale of 2 donkeys

Once upon a time there were two donkey’s who had never met but they were tied together. On both side were two nice yummy flowers. They both wanted to eat off the bushes by the flowers but the rope wasn’t long enough.

They both really wanted to eat but they just couldn’t reach so they just pulled and pulled hoping that the rope would stretch but it wouldn’t. They pulled and pulled but still in the same place and they tried again and again.

They pulled and pulled until they gave in.

The donkeys just gave up and fell in a big heep.

They tried to break free but it didn’t work.

Because they couldn’t reach either ends of the flowers, the donkey just sat and introduced each other properly and tried to think of a way to get to the food and eat.

Then one suddenly clicked and said “now that were friends why don’t we just stand next to each other and take turns”, so they did.

Then they both decided to eat the same bush together, and once they finished that, they would eat the second on .

They decided they’d eaten all they could from the other bush so they moved to the next and carried on all day. Both donkeys were happy they worked together to eat.

Moral:

Team work. Yes we can together.

Even the bible says 'can two walk together unless they agree...?'

Compromise when two people are pulling in opposite directions. Much more will then be accomplished and both will be winners. It will be a win-win for both parties and not a lose-lose.
