00:00Horse and Donkey
00:09Once upon a time, there lived a washerman in an old hut by the river,
00:14who had a horse and a donkey.
00:19Today has been a long day.
00:22I am so tired.
00:25How are you so tired?
00:27I am the one who has to carry all the load.
00:30You just carry the master.
00:33Come on, stop crying and sleeping.
00:37Good night.
00:41What the donkey said was right.
00:43Every morning, the washerman would take the washed clothes to the nearby village
00:47and bring them back to wash.
00:52Because if he had to go far, he himself would be riding the horse.
00:56And all the weight of the clothes would fall on the donkey.
00:59The poor donkey would have to face a lot of difficulties.
01:15There are only two washed clothes, sir.
01:19Oh, it's good that you have come.
01:21My brother has come with his wife and children yesterday.
01:24And there are a lot of dirty clothes that need to be washed.
01:33No problem, sir.
01:35I will wash all of them by tomorrow.
01:43Is there any washing clothes today, madam?
01:46Oh, Henry.
01:48My grandchildren have come for the holidays.
01:51They play all day and make their clothes so dirty.
01:56I have to say that you will have to wash a lot of clothes.
02:04No problem, madam.
02:06I will wash all of them by tomorrow.
02:12Is there any washing clothes, madam?
02:15Oh, I cleaned a little yesterday.
02:17And my curtains need to be washed properly.
02:20Will you please do all this by tomorrow?
02:25No problem, madam.
02:27I will do all this by tomorrow.
02:29And like this, the washerman kept going door to door
02:32collecting the washed clothes for that day.
02:35It seemed as if guests had come to everyone
02:38or a party was going on or cleaning was going on.
02:42He put all that burden on the poor donkey.
02:46Oh, there are a lot of problems today.
02:49I don't know how to keep them on the back of the poor animal.
02:53I will have to walk with the donkey, keeping an eye on them.
02:57I don't want any of them to fall in the way.
03:00So, instead of riding on his horse,
03:03the washerman started walking with the donkey.
03:06Poor donkey could hardly walk.
03:09Poor donkey could hardly walk.
03:12His burden was so heavy that he thought he would fall.
03:17The heat started increasing and the washerman was tired.
03:21Oh, it is very hot today.
03:24And I am tired of walking.
03:28And that too on a day when we have so much work to do.
03:32But we will have to rest for a while.
03:39Oh, horse!
03:41What is the matter?
03:43Today, my burden is so heavy that I think I will break my back.
03:48Please help me carry it.
03:51Today, even God is not on your side.
03:54Please share some of my burden.
03:57Please help me carry it.
04:00Today, even God is not on your side.
04:03Please share some of my burden.
04:06Please help me carry it.
04:09Not at all.
04:11My job is to carry God.
04:14Your job is to carry the burden.
04:17It is very clear.
04:37My poor friend.
04:39I am very sorry, my friend.
04:42I should never have burdened you so much.
04:45Why didn't I carry some of it on my horse?
04:48Please forgive me.
05:07Oh!
05:09Oh!
05:11Oh!
05:15Please forgive me.
05:17But I am sure you understand that we should let this old donkey rest today.
05:22You are right, my friend.
05:25If I hadn't been selfish, we would have shared this burden.
05:29And I would have had to carry half of it.
05:32Because I was so selfish, I was punished to carry all of this alone.
05:38You see, it is always better to share the burden.
05:43Help your friends.
05:45And work together.
05:47This way, no one is burdened.
05:50And everything happens on time.
05:53And happiness.
05:59An old donkey.
06:01Once upon a time, there was a merchant.
06:04He lived in a small village.
06:06He used to trade for money.
06:10He had a donkey.
06:12He used to load his luggage on the donkey.
06:15And take it to the market to sell it.
06:18The merchant used to take good care of his donkey.
06:24Because he knew that the donkey was very important for his business.
06:30The merchant used to keep the donkey very clean.
06:33And keep it healthy.
06:35He used to feed him healthy food.
06:38The donkey was young and strong.
06:41He used to carry a lot of things on his back.
06:45And he used to go to the market with his master every day.
06:48But he was very lazy.
06:50He loved to eat and sleep here and there.
06:55I have to go to the market again.
06:57Why doesn't my master give me a holiday?
07:00I love holidays.
07:03Maybe he doesn't need a holiday.
07:06But I need a holiday.
07:08The donkey couldn't understand this.
07:11That it is very important for the merchant to go to the market every day.
07:15If the merchant doesn't go to the market every day.
07:18Then how will he get money?
07:21And if he doesn't get money.
07:23Then it will be difficult to arrange food for him.
07:27According to the demand of the market.
07:29The merchant had to trade different things every day.
07:33Sometimes lentils, sometimes grains.
07:35Sometimes vegetables and spices, sometimes fruits etc.
07:38The merchant had to cross the river every day while going to the market with his donkey from his village.
07:43And he used to take special care of his donkey at that time.
07:46One day a close friend of the merchant told him.
07:49That there is a lot of demand for salt in the market.
07:53Thank you, my dear friend.
07:55You gave me this news.
07:57I will sell salt very soon.
08:01To sell salt in the market.
08:03The merchant quickly arranged 12 sacks of salt.
08:06He put 6 sacks of salt on the donkey.
08:09But soon he realized that these 6 sacks are very heavy.
08:13The donkey will not be able to carry their load together.
08:16Poor donkey.
08:18He won't be able to bear so much load.
08:20I will have to reduce its load.
08:23This is better.
08:25I don't want to hurt the donkey so much.
08:28Saying this, he took a sack on his back.
08:31Despite this, the donkey was unable to walk.
08:34The merchant used to take care of his donkey.
08:37But he was aware that his donkey is also disabled.
08:40So he hit a stick on the back of the donkey.
08:43And started trying to move it forward.
08:47Now let's go.
08:49You have rested enough.
08:51Don't be so tired.
08:53We have to go to the market.
09:02That day, the merchant sold all his sacks of salt in the market.
09:07My friend was right.
09:09There is a lot of demand for salt in the market.
09:14Like every day, the merchant started selling salt in the market.
09:19Now he used to load the sacks of salt on the donkey.
09:29The donkey had to load 5 to 6 sacks of salt in the market every day.
09:35The donkey was very unhappy with this.
09:38But when he returned, the donkey was completely empty.
09:42The merchant used to sell all his salt in the market.
09:45So that the donkey does not have to carry any load on his back.
09:51The story went on for a few days.
09:53Like every day, the merchant again loaded 6 sacks of salt on the donkey's back.
09:58And left for the market.
10:00As soon as they reached the river, they saw a lot of mud.
10:05We have to walk very slowly.
10:08So that we don't slip in this water.
10:12But as soon as they crossed half the river,
10:15the donkey suddenly hit a big stone.
10:18And he slipped into the water and sat on the same stone.
10:21Oh no!
10:26The merchant picked up the donkey and made it cross the river.
10:31The donkey was very scared.
10:33But suddenly he felt.
10:39The sacks are still on my back.
10:42But I don't feel so much weight.
10:47That is a magical river.
10:53The donkey was unhappy with this.
10:55Because of slipping in the river, all the salt of those sacks dissolved in the water.
11:00And now there was no salt left in those sacks.
11:04Because of this, the donkey could not feel any weight on his back.
11:09Because now there was no salt left in the sacks.
11:12Oh, all my hard work has been wasted.
11:15What will I do now?
11:17Thank God that nothing happened to my donkey.
11:20Now I don't have to go to the market.
11:23I should go back home.
11:26What?
11:28No load and no work.
11:31This is a wonderful magic.
11:37After this incident, the donkey had a whole day.
11:40He ate a lot that day and slept a lot.
11:44He was very happy that day.
11:48Then the next day, the merchant brought six sacks of salt on his donkey.
11:52And left for the market.
11:54Oh, yesterday was such a good day.
11:57Today I have to work again.
12:00Wait.
12:01I can still work.
12:03I can still reduce the load on my back.
12:06And go back home.
12:08Like yesterday.
12:10That is a magical river that reduces my load.
12:13I hope it will help me.
12:16The merchant was not aware of the conspiracy of the donkey that day.
12:20Like every day, the merchant took his donkey and reached the river.
12:24The donkey moved towards the river before the merchant.
12:27Before the merchant stopped him, the donkey slipped to the same place where it had slipped last time.
12:33Oh, what have you done, you fool?
12:36Get up quickly.
12:38But it was too late.
12:40All the salt of the sacks had dissolved in the river like last time.
12:44The donkey was not feeling any load.
12:47The donkey was very happy.
12:51That's it.
12:52No load and no work.
12:55How did this happen again?
12:57Wait, let me think.
12:59Did this donkey do this on purpose?
13:02Oh, stupid animal.
13:05I took care of him so much and he gave me this in return.
13:10I'll take him home.
13:12I know what to do with him.
13:15The donkey thought that I had found the right way not to work.
13:20But the merchant had some other plan.
13:23The next day, the merchant brought eight sacks on the back of the donkey.
13:27But the donkey did not do that.
13:31Eight sacks?
13:33But why should I feel the load?
13:36Now the load is not a problem for me.
13:40Let the master keep as many sacks as he wants.
13:43Who goes to the market now?
13:48When they reached the river, the merchant silently looked at the donkey.
13:53This is my magical river.
13:56And while crossing the river, the donkey again slipped to the same place where it always fell.
14:02But this time the merchant did not pick up the donkey.
14:05And the load of the donkey did not decrease.
14:08And suddenly...
14:11No! My back!
14:13What happened?
14:15My back is still not stable.
14:19The merchant was very smart.
14:22He knew that the donkey was going to do the same thing to him again.
14:26That's why this time he filled the sacks with cotton instead of salt.
14:31As soon as the donkey sat in the river, the cotton absorbed the water of the river and the weight of the donkey increased.
14:40Do you think you can fool me like this?
14:44Now you will carry the load of eight sacks to the market and return home.
14:49No! This is too heavy.
14:53My back!
14:55The donkey realized then that it was not a magical river.
15:00The donkey carried the eight sacks on his back, went to the market and returned home with the same load.
15:07After that day, the donkey never fell into the river again.
