There was a salt merchant. He used to load his donkey with salt and take it to the village everyday. on the way both the merchant and the donkey used to pass through a river.
On day when the donkey was passing through the river his foot slipped and he fell down. Some of the salt was dissolved in the river water. The donkey felt happy due to lighter load.
The next day,the donkey intentionally fell into the river. He did so with the aim of dissolving some of the salt in the river water. This time also his load became lighter. The donkey felt happy and comfortable; but it was a great loss to his master.
The merchant was a wise man. He thought of a trick to teach his donkey a lesson. The next day he loaded his donkey with bags of cotton.As usual the donkey fell into the river. But this time, the load became heavier and he found it difficult to carry. The merchant began to beat the donkey mercilessly. From that day, the donkey did not repeat this trick
One day a tortoise was moving slowly. A hared happened to see him. He made fun of his slow speed. He said to the tortoise. “How slowly you crawl? I can run faster than you. While i go miles, you can move only a few yards”.
Hearing the words of the hare, The tortoise became angry. He challenged him to race. Though the hare laughed at the tortoise's proposal , he accepted it. He was proud. Due to his speed, the hare was sure of his victory.
The race started. The tortoise began to crawl slowly but steadily. On the other hand, the hare covered more distance than the tortoise in a short time. He did so only after a few jumps. The hare was much ahead of the tortoise.
The hare rested for a short while and fell into a sound sleep. In the meantime, The tortoise continued to move at his slow and steady pace. He reached the finishing point and won the race. The hare could not do anything because it was too late for him when he got up from his sound sleep. It was because of his pride that he had lost the race.
