He loaded the sacks on his donkey s back, and the two set off for home. They came to a stream and began to wade across it. The heavy burden caused the donkey to lose his balance. He slipped and fell into the water. When the donkey stood up again, his load was much lighter. Most of the salt had dissolved in the water. The merchant returned to the market and bought salt again. Once again, he loaded the sacks on the donkey s back. When they came to the stream again, the donkey remembered how to lighten his burden. He purposely fell into the water, let the salt melt away, and then rose to his feet without the weight on his back. The merchant watched with a knowing look. Then he led the donkey back to the market. This time, the merchant did not buy salt. He bought a load of sponges. When the donkey came to the stream, he quickly lay down. The sponges filled with water. Back on his feet, the donkey was surprised to find that his load was much heavier than before. This fable teaches a lesson: You can try a trick once too often.
