The donkey used to pick the weight on his back and travel to villages.
The donkey was very upset with his master as he complains his master didn’t appreciate him and not gifted him anything.
One day carrying salt on his shoulder the donkey and the merchant was crossing a small bridge.
Suddenly the donkey slipped and went into the water.
Somehow the flow was not fast so the merchant grab the donkey and took it out.
As there was salt in the bag and all of the salt got dissolved into the water.
