Hello, podcast listeners. Thanks for downloading today’s Story of the Day. We asked you, our listeners, to send us your favourite fables – you know, stories with a moral, where we learn a lesson about life. We got some great fables from you and now we’re reading one every day as part of the podcast. Today’s story is from Pauline Smith in Cambridge. It’s called The Donkey in the Well. Here we go.

One day, a farmer was working outside his house with his donkey. Suddenly, he heard the donkey making a noise, crying for help. The farmer ran over to see what had happened. The donkey had fallen into the well.

He looked into the well and there was the donkey, a few metres below, looking up at him. The farmer didn’t know what to do. He thought carefully for a while. He couldn’t throw a rope down in order to pull the donkey out because, of course, the donkey couldn’t hold it. And he couldn’t climb down into the well to push the donkey out because there wasn’t enough room for both of them.

The farmer thought about it for a long time. In the end, he had to make a very difficult decision. And so the farmer got a wheelbarrow full of earth. Then he went back to the well and, with a heavy heart, began to throw the earth into the well, on top of the donkey.

At first, the donkey was surprised, and then, when it realised what was happening, it became frightened and made a terrible noise. The farmer had had the donkey for a very long time, so he didn’t like what he was doing, but he thought, ‘If I don’t do this, the poor donkey will die a slow and painful death. I’m doing this so as to help the donkey die quickly.’ So he carried on throwing dirt into the well. And the donkey carried on crying for help. But then the donkey stopped making any noise. The farmer thought that the donkey was dead and felt very unhappy. But when he looked down into the well, it was his turn to be surprised. The donkey was standing on top of the earth in the well! The farmer threw some more earth in and watched. The earth landed on the donkey’s back, the donkey shook the earth off its back, and then the donkey stepped up onto the growing pile of earth in the well.

The farmer was amazed. He began to throw more and more earth into the well and the donkey carried on stepping up onto it. After some time, the earth filled the well and the donkey stepped out, alive and safe.

So, there you are. And the moral of the story? Well, Pauline doesn’t say. Maybe it’s that life will always throw things on top of you, but if you’re clever, you can use it to step up higher. I think … I’m not sure. What do you think? Post your comments on our website …

1 Mr Reeder jumped into the water to rescue a

small boy.

2 The farmer looked into the well so as to see

why the donkey was quiet.

3 The nurse stopped on the seafront in order to

help the baby boy.

4 The authorities say not to walk on the seafront

in windy weather in order to prevent future

accidents

LARRY: And you need talent, too, I guess.

JANET: Well, yes. You know, in order to become a top cyclist, you have to love cycling and have a certain talent for it.

LARRY: So I guess you go out every day and train?

JANET: Yes, I do. And I usually train with my cycling friends.

LARRY: Why?

JANET: Well, to practise riding as a team. You know, cycling is a team sport in many ways. You have to be part of a good team in order to win big races.

duties when he heard a noise that caught his attention. On the other side of the harbour, some people were pointing and shouting, so he cycled over as fast as he could.

Mr Reeder expected to see a dog in the sea, but instead he saw a baby's buggy in about four metres of freezing cold water. A woman was screaming desperately – her six-month-old baby boy was strapped into the buggy and was in the water. The strong wind had blown the buggy into the sea. Mr Reeder quickly decided to do something.

'I went over and saw that the buggy was upside-down... and I jumped in,' said Mr Reeder. He pulled the buggy over to the sea wall. Some other people helped to tie a rope to the buggy, and they managed to pull it out of the water and to safety, but not before the baby had spent around five minutes in the sea.

Tanya Allen, a passer-by (who, fortunately, was a nurse), gave the baby CPR and was able to get him to breathe again. Mr Reeder remembered seeing a little bit of breath coming out of the baby's mouth. 'I thought, he's all right. He's alive. Brilliant!' he said. Then an air ambulance helicopter arrived and the baby was taken to hospital. Mr Reeder said it was incredible that the baby survived. 'It's such a miracle,' Mr Reeder added.

After he'd finished helping the baby and the helicopter had gone, Mr Reeder went home to recover from the experience. The child's grandfather knew Mr Reeder and, a little later, went to his house to tell him that the boy was out of danger. Mr Reeder was very relieved and happy to hear that.

It was a cold and windy morning in Watchet in January 2013. The local harbour master, George Reeder, was carrying out his regular

Mr Reeder said that he hadn't really been brave. 'It was everyone – from Tanya doing the CPR to the helicopter pilot,' he said. 'I'm just glad I could help.' But when Mr Reeder got the certificate, a council spokesperson said that what he'd done was very courageous. 'This was an extremely brave act, as he put his own life at risk.' The council has advised local people to avoid walking along the seafront in very windy weather.

EMERGENCY? WHAT EMERGENCY?

An emergency service should be exactly that: a service that you phone in an emergency. You might need to call an ambulance if you're in a car accident or the police if you see a crime happening. But some people phone the emergency services for such unimportant reasons that it's hard to believe these calls are real. Then again, there are some crazy people out there, so perhaps it isn't really so surprising that the emergency services get some unusual calls.

Here are some examples that we've heard about from emergency centres all over the world.

'I ordered food from a Chinese takeaway and it hasn't come yet. I'm so hungry! Can you tell them to hurry up, please?'

'My children are making such a loud noise upstairs that I can't think properly. Can you come and calm them down, please?'

'My car's parked outside my house. There's a lot of snow on the road. I'm too scared to go out to my car.'

'My brother-in-law has been staying with us for two weeks. He's so boring that I can't stand it any more. Please come and tell him to go home.'

'There's a black cat in my garden. Black cats are such unlucky animals. Can someone please come and take it away?'

'There's a big bright thing in the sky. I'm really worried. I want someone to come and look, please.' (A police car went. It was the moon.)

'I'm trying to find a shop in the town centre and I can't. I'm so tired that I'm almost in tears.'

'I think the Prime Minister is such a good-looking man, and I want to phone him and tell him. Can you give me his telephone number, please?'

These calls are amusing to read about, but they can have very serious consequences. 'Every call takes about a minute,' said one man who works in emergency services. 'Perhaps that doesn't sound a very long time, but in that one minute, other people are calling who really have an emergency. And for them, a minute might be really important.'

So let's get really serious: please THINK before you call the emergency services. And, of course, remember that you should never phone them with information that's untrue – it's irresponsible and it's also illegal.
