The Farmer and the Wagon

Every Saturday morning a farmer loaded up his wagon with as many fruits and vegetables as it could hold, and traveled to the market. Despite being treated well, the wagon became tired of carrying all the goods week after week. One Saturday the wagon said, "You don't need to go to the market today. You have done well lately. Save some for yourself and give some to your neighbors."

"Perhaps you're right, my friend" said the farmer, "but I know you are only thinking of yourself."
