One beautiful spring morning, a merchant loaded his donkey with
bags of salt to go to the market in order to sell them. The merchant
and his donkey were walking along together. They had not walked
far when they reached a river on the road.
Unfortunately, the donkey slipped and fell into the river and noticed
that the bags of salt loaded on his back became lighter.
There was nothing the merchant could do, except return home
where he loaded his donkey with more bags of salt. As they reached
the slippery riverbank, now deliberately, the donkey fell into the
river and wasted all the bags of salt on its back again.
The merchant quickly discovered the donkey’s trick. He then
returned home again but re-loaded his donkey with bags of sponges.
The foolish, tricky donkey again set on its way. On reaching the river he again fell into the water.
But instead of the load becoming lighter, it became heavier.
