A Donkey and His Burden
One day, a man who owned a donkey bought a big bag of salt. The bag was so heavy that he could not carry himself. So, the man put the bag on his donkey.
On the way home, the donkey fell into a stream. The bag was opened, and the salt became wet and melted.
¡±Oh. No! All my salt is gone!¡± The man screamed looking very worried and sad.
Unlike the man, the donkey was happy because the salt was all gone and the bag was weightless.
¡±Lucky me! I don¡¯t have to carry that huge burden anymore,¡± said the donkey.
The next day, the man bought a lot of sponges. He put the sponges on the donkey again. The donkey worried, but the sponges were very light. However, he did not want to carry them on his back.
When they came to the stream, the donkey decided to fall down to the stream again. The donkey really fell down. The sponges soaked up water. When the donkey stood up, the sponges were much heavier than before.
All circumstances will not need the same means.
