Next day, while they were crossing the stream, the ass sat down in the water purposely. The salt melted. The master was very angry. He, however saw through his trick.
He wanted to teach it a lesson. He drove it back. He loaded it with sponges. The ass tried the same trick again. The sponges soaked water. The load became heavier. The ass could not carry it. The master gave it a good beating.
