One day, 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 a river together.

Unfortunately, the donkey slipped and fell into the river. The donkey noticed that the bags of
salt loaded on its back became lighter. There was nothing the merchant could do, except
returned home where he loaded his donkeys more bags of salt. As they reached the slippery
riverbank, now deliberately, the donkey fell into the river again.

The merchant discovered the donkey’s trick. He then returned home again and loaded his
donkey with bags of sponges. The cunning yet foolish donkey set on its way again. Instead of
the load becoming lighter, it became heavier. The merchant laughed at the donkey and
said. “You foolish donkey, your trick has been discovered!”
