One day a man was leading his donkey with a load of salt on its back. On the way to the market place there was a little shallow stream with a bridge on it. At the time of crossing the bridge, the load fell into the water. The salt melted into the water. The donkey, being relieved of the burden, went home fresh and gay.
Next day the master as usual loaded the donkey with salt and made for the market place. The donkey was crossing the same stream with the load. At this time it fell into the stream intentionally and got -rid of the load. ‘The master noticed the trick of the donkey and made up his mind to teach it a lesson.
The next time the master bought a load of sponge. He put it on the back of the donkey and drove it home.
The donkey, while crossing the same stream played its old trick.
But the master now pulled all the load out of water and placed it again on the donkey’s back. The sponge got wet and now the load was much heavier than the first. From that day the donkey never played such a trick again.
