0:03 Sometimes in life, helping others can
0:05 feel difficult. But even a [music] small
0:08 act of kindness can bring a big change.
0:11 Today you will hear a story of a donkey
0:13 and a horse, which shows us [music] how
0:16 selfish decisions can create problems
0:18 and how cooperation can make everything
0:21 [music] easier. Believe me, this story
0:23 will make you think deeply about life
0:33 In a village there lived a [music] poor
0:37 washerman who owned two animals, a
0:40 donkey [music] and a horse. The donkey
0:42 worked hard everyday from morning to
0:45 evening, carrying piles of clothes from
0:47 the village to the river and back. Heavy
0:49 loads rested on his [music] back every
0:51 day. But he quietly continued with his
0:55 work. On the other hand, the horse was
0:57 living an easy life. He occasionally
1:00 carried the washer somewhere [music] and
1:02 spent the rest of the time resting. The
1:05 washer loved both of his animals, but he
1:07 could not see how unequal [music] their
1:10 work was. Day by day, the donkey grew
1:13 weaker while the horse lived happily
1:16 [music] and carefree. One day, the
1:18 washerman decided to collect clothes
1:21 from all the houses in the village. He
1:23 went from house to house. The [music]
1:25 piles of clothes grew bigger and the
1:28 donkey's load became almost unbearable.
1:31 The washer [music] said excitedly,
1:33 "Today we have a lot of work to do." And
1:36 he placed [music] the last pile on the
1:38 donkey's back. As they walked towards
1:41 the river, the washer walked with the
1:43 animals and the horse [music] happily
1:45 walked ahead without any load. With
1:48 every step, the donkey [music] trembled,
1:51 but he silently continued to perform his
1:54 duty. Halfway through, exhausted, the
1:56 donkey looked [music] at the horse and
2:00 said, "Friend, help me. This load is too
2:03 heavy for me. If you also help a little,
2:06 our work will become easier." The horse
2:09 laughed softly and said, "I am here to
2:12 serve our owner, not to carry your load.
2:15 Carrying [music] the load is your job."
2:18 The donkey sighed, but continued walking
2:21 silently. With every step, the load
2:24 [music] became heavier on him. Soon, the
2:26 donkey's legs began to give way, and he
2:29 [music] fell under the heavy load. The
2:31 washer immediately reached him, eyes
2:35 filled with tears, and said, "Oh, my
2:37 poor donkey. I should never have put
2:40 such a heavy [music] load on you." The
2:42 washer quickly removed the piles of
2:44 clothes from the donkey's back. Now
2:46 [music] the donkey could not carry any
2:49 load. So the washerman placed everything
2:51 on the horse. As the horse [music]
2:54 carried the heavy load forward, for the
2:56 first time he realized the harshness of
2:59 the donkey's life. He thought, "If I had
3:02 helped [music] him earlier, he would not
3:04 have suffered so much, and I would
3:06 [music] not have to carry so much load
3:09 now. We could have shared everything."
3:12 From that day on, the horse sincerely
3:14 decided that he would [music] always
3:17 help others. Even if it meant a little
3:19 extra effort for him because [music] the
3:21 power of kindness and cooperation is
3:24 never small. This story [music] gives us
3:26 a deep lesson in life. We should always
3:29 help others because sometimes even a
3:31 small good action [music] can cause a
3:34 big change. On the other hand, the
3:36 results of selfishness are often
3:38 painful, like the [music] horse refusing
3:41 to help the donkey, which eventually
3:44 caused problems for both. This incident
3:46 [music] also teaches us that teamwork
3:49 lightens the burden. When we work
3:50 together [music] and share responsibilities,
3:51 responsibilities,
3:53 even the biggest challenge becomes
3:56 easier. Similarly, compassion creates
3:59 strong bonds among humans because
4:01 [music] understanding others
4:03 difficulties brings hearts closer
4:05 together. And the horse's [music] regret
4:08 teaches us that recognizing mistakes and
4:11 learning from them to improve ourselves
4:13 is the real success. If you like this
