One day, a lazy farmer kept piling heavy sacks on his donkey, mocking, "You're strong, you can handle it!" Exhausted, the donkey hatched a plan.

The next morning, as they crossed a narrow bridge, the donkey suddenly slipped (or so it seemed) and splash! - rolled into the river. The sacks dissolved - they were full of salt! The farmer groaned as his cargo vanished.

The next day, the donkey "fell" again with sponge sacks. This time, they absorbed water, becoming twice as heavy! The farmer struggled to drag the soaked donkey home.

On the third day, the donkey saw the farmer loading cotton sacks - light and fluffy. He trotted happily, not "falling" even once. The farmer laughed, "Finally, you learned!"

Moral: If you act lazy, life will give you heavier burdens. But if you work smart, your load becomes lighter!
