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