The story teaches children to think before copying others, consider different situations, and ask for help when needed.
What the tale is about
A villager sets out for the market with two donkeys, one carrying salt and the other carrying sponges. After crossing hills and high mountains, they reach a river. The salt-carrying donkey struggles at first, but the salt dissolves in the water, making the load lighter and the crossing easy. Seeing this, the sponge-carrying donkey jumps in as well. The sponges absorb water, making the load heavier, and the donkey begins to sink. A passerby helps the villager rescue him. The story reminds children to think before copying what works for someone else.
