every story needs to have a point.
The idiom "even a burro can climb a palm" is a metaphor. A burro (donkey) is not typically associated with climbing a palm tree. The phrase implies that with patience and calm (as mentioned in the text), difficult tasks (like a burro climbing a palm) can be achieved. This is similar to the idea that "Anything can be accomplished" with the right approach.
