00:00Join Kids Heart Family!
00:30Hey Tofu! What are you up to?
00:34Nothing much. Just watching TV.
00:38Oh cool! Are you done with your homework already?
00:43Uh, we didn't have much homework today.
00:47We just have a research assignment.
00:50Hmm. I'm impressed.
00:54So you finished your homework?
00:56Oh no! I haven't.
00:59It's a big assignment so we have to do it in pairs.
01:03My partner is Kate.
01:06She's really good with research.
01:08So I passed it all off to her.
01:12She will write the paper and bring it tomorrow.
01:18I don't know what to say.
01:21I'm really impressed.
01:24I don't know what to say, Tofu.
01:27You can say which game you want to play.
01:31How about I tell you a story instead?
01:35Oh! I love your stories. Please tell me one.
01:40This one is about the horse and the donkey
01:43where the horse doesn't bother to help the donkey.
01:54Once upon a time, there was a poor washerman.
02:02All he had was a donkey and a horse.
02:11He was very poor.
02:14He had no money to buy a horse.
02:17So he sold his donkey to a poor washerman.
02:21He would use the donkey to carry the load of clothes
02:25from the village to the river and back.
02:33While he would use the horse for himself
02:36to go wherever he needed to.
02:41The horse enjoyed an easy life
02:45carrying only his master
02:47while the poor donkey did all the hard work.
02:58One day, the washerman went to the village
03:01to collect clothes from people.
03:11Hello! Are there any clothes you like?
03:14Hello! Are there any clothes you want to give for washing today?
03:22Yes, yes, I have.
03:27Thank you!
03:30Hello! How are you today?
03:33I am good, thank you.
03:35Do you have any clothes for washing?
03:38Yes, I am glad you came.
03:41We have too many guests today
03:43and excess laundry too.
03:47Thank you!
03:49I am glad you came.
03:51We have too many guests today
03:53and excess laundry too.
03:55Don't worry, I will have them back in time.
04:00Thank you!
04:02And so the washerman went from door to door
04:05collecting clothes for washing.
04:15Then he loaded everything onto his donkey.
04:20We have a big job in front of us today.
04:27We have more clothes to wash than every other day.
04:30We'll have to hurry up.
04:38Thank you!
04:40Thank you!
04:42Thank you!
04:44Thank you!
04:46Thank you!
04:48Thank you!
04:50As soon as he got the donkey loaded up
04:53they started moving towards the river.
04:57The washerman decided to walk besides the horse and the donkey.
05:05But the load was too much for the donkey to carry
05:09so he got very tired.
05:11When they were half way through to the river
05:14the washerman decided to stop to get some rest.
05:21He too was tired
05:23having walked all the way instead of riding the horse as usual.
05:29That's when the donkey decided to talk to the horse.
05:34Horse, can you please help me?
05:37This load is too heavy to carry.
05:40Since the master is walking today
05:43and you have no burden to carry
05:45can you take some of mine?
05:48I am here to serve my master, not you.
05:52It's not my job to carry the load.
05:55It's yours and you alone must do it.
05:59The donkey had no choice
06:01but to carry the burden of the clothes all alone.
06:06So he continued walking slowly
06:09when they resumed their journey.
06:12But after some time
06:14the weight became too much for him
06:17and he collapsed.
06:20The donkey had no choice
06:22but to carry the burden of the clothes all alone.
06:25The weight became too much for him
06:28and he collapsed.
06:33He tried to get up again but just couldn't.
06:39Oh no! What's wrong with my donkey?
06:43Let me get his weight off him first.
06:50The caring washerman removed the bags
06:53and put them on the donkey.
07:06Oh! These bags are very very heavy.
07:10It was wrong of me to put them on the donkey alone.
07:19Now he is very tired.
07:21He won't be able to carry this burden anymore.
07:27I will put everything on the horse.
07:30Saying so, he put all the bags and bundles
07:34on the back of the horse.
07:41Let's give the donkey some rest today.
07:44They started walking again towards the river.
07:48As they walked
07:49the horse realized what a mistake he had made.
07:54This is so heavy.
07:56I wish I had not been so selfish earlier.
07:59If I had shared the donkey's load when he asked me to
08:03I wouldn't have to carry all this by myself.
08:07From now on, I will carry all this by myself.
08:13I will always share the burden.
08:21So you see, Tofu?
08:23It's always more sensible to share the burden
08:27than to not help others.
08:30Yes, I agree with you, Tia.
08:33In fact, if I help Kate out
08:36we will be able to finish the work faster as well
08:40and both will be free soon.
08:44That's right, Tofu.
08:46So you see
08:47sharing the burden of work has many advantages.
08:51You must go and help Kate out.
