There was a simple man working in cleaning clothes, and he had a donkey and a horse. The donkey carried the clothes to the river, washed them with the water, and the donkey returned another time to the house, and the horse carried the simple man to the market and returned with him to the house. The donkey thought he works more than the horse.
On Sunday the man and the horse were sick and the work was on the way to the river with the donkey. The donkey walked with him excessively until he escaped from the river. The donkey was carrying a large basket of dirty clothes on his back.
The horse was not carrying anything, the load was light for the horse, and the donkey began to suffer due to his back, when the pain became severe, the donkey said to the horse: why did you let me carry the heavy basket on my back, return oh horse and carry a little on your back to help me.
The horse answered the donkey with great rudeness and why should I help you, I am here only to carry the man to the market, so the donkey answered him with his speed and went far away from the donkey, he began to see the horse at the peak of his energy, and the donkey was very sick from the energy.
He was dragging to the grave, he was trying to walk with lightness, but he could not, and the donkey fell sick on the ground from the heaviness of the load on his back, so the man stood thinking, what happened to the sick donkey?
On the back, the horse saw the donkey carrying the load on his back, and he said in his mind that he would do this load very lightly on the sick donkey, he must be more clever. The man brought a little water to the donkey, and on the back the horse felt the donkey improved.
The man carried the dirty clothes and put them on the back of the horse, the horse stood suddenly, and he thought that he was wrong to help the donkey in his load, for the horse thought that he had taken a big trap, and he was wrong for him to carry half of the donkey’s basket when he requested that from him, when the horse said: now I know that the sharing in carrying things is better than carrying them on the back of one.
The horse carried the dirty basket the remaining light on his back, after this accident the horse and the donkey began to share everything, and help each other in everything.
