Question

Once a farmer and a potter jointly hired a camel, and each filled one side of the saddle with his goods. As he went along the road, the camel took a mouthful every now and then from the farmer's bag of vegetables. This provoked a laugh from the potter, who thought he had the best of the bargain. But the time came for the camel to sit, and he naturally sat on the heavier side, bearing down on the pots. This caused the pots to break in the bag, and then the farmer had all the laughs to himself.
