A Sufi saint was also walking on that road. overtook the trader and uttered as follows.
"There is no point in abusing or beating the beast, for it has not been made in a way it understood any of them. But, do not miss an opportunity to learn a great lesson from that beast".
The trader was shocked to hear this. "Can this dumb donkey teach me a lesson"?
Sufi, continued, "how to remain calm and composed before a donkey, while it is under highly unfavorable situations."
