Once upon a time, in a bustling village, lived a wise man named Juha. Juha was known for his cleverness and humor. He had a loyal donkey named Bakar, who always followed him everywhere. The village folks loved to hear Juha's funny stories and adventures, especially those involving Bakar.

One sunny day, Juha decided to visit the market. He wanted to buy fresh fruits and vegetables to share with his friends. Juha loaded his baskets onto Bakar's back. Bakar was strong and could carry a heavy load easily. With a cheerful smile, they set off down the dusty road.

On their way, Juha met a group of children playing. They laughed and cheered as Juha passed by. Juha, with a twinkle in his eye, said, 'Watch out, I'm bringing the strongest donkey to help us!' The children gasped in awe at Bakar, who was proudly trotting along.

When they reached the market, the vendors called out to Juha, offering their best goods. Juha picked the ripest tomatoes and the sweetest melons. Suddenly, a sneaky fox appeared. 'Give me a melon, Juha!' the fox demanded. Juha chuckled and said, 'Only if you can outsmart Bakar!' The fox agreed, eager to win a sweet treat.

Juha proposed a riddle. 'If you can answer this riddle correctly, you shall have a melon!' The fox thought hard and then blurted out, 'What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and three legs in the evening?' The children giggled as Juha smiled at the fox, knowing he wouldn’t get it.

The fox wrinkled his brow, but he just couldn't solve the riddle. Juha laughed heartily, saying, 'The answer is a human! They crawl as a baby, walk as an adult, and use a cane as an old person!' The fox sighed, defeated. 'Fine, I'll leave you alone,' he said, trotting away.

With the riddle behind him, Juha paid for his goodies and loaded them on Bakar. They started their journey back home, feeling proud and happy. Juha hummed a joyful tune, and Bakar nodded along, as if dancing to the rhythm.

As they walked, Juha spotted an old woman struggling with a heavy basket. 'Need help, dear lady?' Juha asked. She nodded gratefully, and Juha offered Bakar to carry her basket. Bakar was kind, and he trotted alongside, making the lady smile.

Finally, they reached home, and Juha's friends were waiting. 'Look what I brought!' Juha called out, unpacking the fresh fruits and vegetables. Everyone gathered around, excited to share a meal and listen to Juha's funny tales about Bakar and the market.
