00:00Once upon a time, a poor salt seller used to carry heavy sacks of salt on his donkey to the
00:07market every day.
00:09One day, while crossing a small bridge, the donkey slipped and the sack fell into the stream.
00:16Some of the salt melted and the load became much lighter.
00:21The donkey felt relaxed and happy.
00:24The next day, the clever donkey pretended to slip again.
00:29And again, the salt melted and the load got light.
00:33But the salt seller understood the trick.
00:37On the third day, he filled the sack with cotton instead of salt.
00:41The donkey, thinking he was smart, slipped into the water once more.
00:47But this time, the cotton soaked up the water and became very heavy.
00:52The donkey struggled to walk, panting and sweating.
00:57The seller laughed and said,
00:59Tricks don't always work, especially dishonest ones.
