Answer:

There was a salt vendor in a village. He used to buy salt from a nearby town. He had a donkey to carry this salt load. There were many streams to be crossed to reach the town.

One day, the vendor was returning after his purchase.

The donkey was loaded with salt bags. While they were crossing a stream, accidentally the donkey slipped and fell into the stream. A lot of salt got dissolved in the water. When the donkey got up the load became very light.

From that day, whenever the vendor returned from town after salt purchase, the donkey began to tumble half-way across one stream or the other. The vendor became suspicious.

Once the vendor purchased bales of cotton and loaded his donkey with bales of cotton. The donkey felt the load to be unusually light. He thought "Today, I am going to tumble and this load is going to become much lighter".

On their way home, as usual, the donkey tumbled and fell into a stream. But alas! When the donkey tried to get up, the load pulled the donkey down. The cotton had absorbed water and become heavier.

The vendor gave hard beatings to make the donkey get up and walk. From then on, the donkey never tumbled while crossing streams.

MORAL : Avoiding work leads to more work.

Explanation:

Cheating never bring a successful turn.

Donkeys are always known or regarded as beasts of burden. They are made to carry loads much more bigger and even heavier than their own weight. This story is about one such animal.

Once there was a donkey who was working for an owner who is not so kind. He used to make the donkey work day and night, until the work is done, no matter how tired the animal may be. So, the donkey began to think of ways to teach his master a lesson.

One day, he was made to carry a heavy sack of salt. On their way, they had to cross a river. So, the donkey sat down in the water, melting the salt and thus lessening his load. The wise owner understood the trick his donkey had done to him. But he did not want to immediately punish him. So, he came up with a new trick.

On the next trip, he made the donkey carry a huge sack of cotton along the same route. The donkey thought of deceiving his mater again and did the same thing with the cotton. He sat in the water for sometime, hoping to dissolve the cotton just like the salt. But when he emerged out of the water, instead of getting lighter, the load became heavier than before, for he did not know that the cotton absorb the water and not get dissolved, He had learned his lesson the hard way.
