The Donkey and the Salt

There once was a donkey

that always carried bags on his back

One day

his master put bags of salt on his back

one two and three

Wow Why does my back feel

so heavy today

The donkey struggled with

the heavy bags of salt until finally

he fell into the river

Heehaw Heehaw

Help me Help me Heehaw

The donkey splashed and splashed

but couldn’t come out

Finally he came out

and was pleasantly surprised

All of the salt bags became light as air

Ah ha

If I go into the water with the bags

they will become lighter

The donkey was delighted at

what he thought he discovered

A few days later

the master put more bags

on the donkey’s back

But this time

they were bags of cotton

Hmm

The bags aren’t very heavy today

As the donkey passed

the river this time

he decided to purposely

fall into the river

Ha ha Yes

Now the bags will be even lighter

A little while later the donkey

tried to come out of the river

Oh my What’s this I can’t stand up

Why are these bags so heavy now

What the donkey didn’t know

is that unlike salt

cotton becomes heavier in water

The poor donkey thought

he was so smart

But in the end

he wasn’t very smart at all
