THE DONKEY
A Donkey was laden with salt. He came to a brook, stumbled and fell into
the water. As he rose up, he felt that
his burden had become much lighter, for a great part of the salt had
melted. This he observed with joy, and
the next time he came that way, laden with sponges he laid himself purposely
down in the water, hoping that the same might happen to his burden as before.
But the sponges, soaked through with water,
became so heavy that the ass could not rise up again, and was drowned under his
burden.
