The peasant walked up the mountain, hardly carrying a heavy burden, and complained:
“God, either lighten my burden, or take my soul away from me and save me from this torment.”
At this time, one merchant, whose donkey died on the way, took the stole off the donkey and forced the peasant to carry it. The peasant was forced to carry both his burden and his stole.
“God, apparently I couldn’t convince you of my difficult fate; “maybe you didn’t understand me,” said the peasant.
