In the morning, the businessman said to one of the servants, “You are the smallest and shortest one. You may carry the l 3 load(担子).” The servant thanked him but took the biggest load. The load was f 4 with the bread and water. The man said, “You are f 5. That is the heaviest load.” But the servant smiled and said n 6. He took up the load happily, and then they set off.
After four hours, they were all tired and stopped for a r 7. They all ate some of the bread and drank some water. Then there was l 8 bread and water for the servant to carry. Every time they ate some bread and drank some water, the load b 9 lighter and lighter.
During the rest of the trip, the servant had nothing in his load, but all the other servants still had a lot of things to carry.
