Nasruddin was taking a load of salt to the market.
His donkey waded through the river and the salt dissolved .
when it reached the opposite bank the animal ran around in circles,
overjoyed hat its load had been lightened.
But Nasruddin was annoyed.
On the next market day he packed the panniers with cotton.
The ass nearly drowned with the increase of weight when it crossed the river.
‘There! Said Nasruddin gleefully. ‘That will teach you to think that each time you go through water you stand to gain!’
· Two men walked into religion. One was enlivened, the other drowned.
