Once upon a time there was a mule who fell in a well. The farmer tried and tried to pull the mule out but he couldn't so he called his two sons over to help him. No matter how hard they all tried it was to no avail. Finally the farmer gave up and told his sons, "I'm going to town. While I'm gone, get some dirt and bury that damn mule."
So he left and his sons got some dirt then started throwing it down in the well so they could bury the mule. But lo and behold, every time the dirt flew down in the well, the mule managed to step on it. Finally the mule was able to step out of the well.
The moral of the story is sometimes the very dirt that's meant to bury you...can be the dirt that liberates you.
