A hardworking shopkeeper led his donkey to the market to buy salt. On their way home, they had to cross a stream. The donkey was very tired, and he slipped on a rock and fell into the water. |
|
|
To the donkey's surprise, his load became much lighter. The water had washed away almost all of the salt. The shopkeeper took the donkey back to the market and bought even more salt than before. This time when they reached the stream, the donkey fell into the water on purpose. |

一位辛勤工作的店主趕著他的驢子去市場買鹽。在返家的途中,他們必須經過一條小溪。驢子很累了,在一顆石頭上滑了一跤,然後掉進水裡。 |

|
|
驢子驚訝地發現身上的負擔輕了許多。因為水幾乎把所有的鹽都沖走了。店主帶著驢子回到市場,買了比之前更多的鹽。這一次,當他們來到溪邊時,驢子就故意跌進水裡。 |
