Outline: A donkey carrying a load of salt—fell by chance in a stream—salt

dissolved—load became lighter—his master loaded him with sponges to


punish him—the donkey sat in the stream—sponge filled with water—result.
Complete Story: The Dokey carrying a Load of Salt
Once a donkey was carrying a load of salt. The load was heavy. There was a
stream on the way. As the donkey was crossing it, by chance he fell down.
The salt was dissolved in water and the load became lighter. The donkey
now every day sat in the stream in order to lighten his load. The master
wanted to punish him. So he, one day, loaded the donkey with sponges. As
usual, the donkey was crossing the stream. When he was in the middle of
the stream, he sat down. The sponges were filled with water. The load
became very heavy. The master beat the donkey hard to make him stand.
The poor donkey could hardly stand on his legs, but he had to carry the load.
With great difficulty, he carried the load out of the stream. It was a good
punishment for him. From that day he never sat in the stream.

Moral: Cleverness does not pay always.


A fox falls into a well—can’t get out—a foolish goat peeps down in the well—
climbs down to drink sweet water—fox climbs on goat’s back and jumps out
—leaves the goat in the well—Moral.

Complete Story: The Clever Fox


Once a fox and a goat lived in a forest. It so happened that the fox fell into a
well. The well was very deep. The poor fox could not get out of it. It thought
it would die if Providence did not come to its rescue. By chance, the goat
passed the way. It saw the fox fall in the well. It said to the fox, “What are
you doing there in deep water?” The fox was very cunning. It replied, “I am
drinking water. The water of this well is very sweet. How I like to be always
here! Climb down, if you like to have a drink.” The foolish goat at once
agreed and jumped into the well. As soon as it jumped, the fox climbed on its
back and jumped out of the well. The fox by this trick, saved itself, leaving
the poor goat to its fate.

Moral: Look before you Leap.
