The donkey easily crossed the stream due to the light weight of salt on his back. The donkey became happy. The donkey on his next trip knowingly fell into the stream. This time the merchant suspected the animal’s intention. On the other day too, the donkey intentionally repeated the same trick. His master was now sure about the animal’s evil intention.

Next day, the merchant loaded the donkey with a lot of cotton. The donkey once again repeated the same trick. He fell into the stream. This time, his load became very heavy. The donkey carried the heavy load. It was very tiring for him to move on. The donkey now realized his mistake. He stopped falling down into the stream any more. He thought that it was not good to play tricks. Thus, the merchant taught the donkey a good lesson.
