The Savvy Salt Merchant and the Cleverly Kooky Donkey: A Tantalizing Tale of Tricky Trades!

Once upon a time, there was a merchant who lived in a remote village. He worked as a salt trader and had a donkey that helped him transport his goods to and from the nearby city.

One day, the merchant set off with his donkey to the city to buy salt and return with it to his village to sell to the people. He bought the salt and loaded it onto his donkey, and as they were on their way back, they came across a river with a small bridge. The donkey began to walk across the bridge, but suddenly slipped and fell into the river, carrying the bags of salt with him. Despite his numerous attempts, the donkey couldn't manage to get out of the river.
