10 How is this? [If] one’s animal was loaded with a load of grain, he may place his head beneath [the load] and move it to a different side [of the animal], and it falls by itself. [In the case of] one who came from a journey on Shabbat night with his laden animal: When he reaches the outer courtyard, he takes the vessels that may be taken on Shabbat; [and regarding] the vessels that may not be taken, he unties [their] ropes and the bags fall. [If] there were breakable things in the bags: If the bags were small, he may bring pillows and bedspreads and place them underneath them and the bags fall on the pillows. For certainly, he may remove the small and light bags if he wants—so he has not nullified a vessel (the pillow) from its use (which is a prohibited act). [If] it was laden with lumps of glass, he should untie the bags—and they fall. For even if they break, there is not a large loss with this—as it is all slated for melting—and [the Sages] did not concern themselves about a small loss (to allow one to put pillows, etc. down in such a case). [If] the bags were large and full of glass vessels or that which is similar to them, he unloads [it] gently. And in any case, he should not leave them there on the back of the animal, on account of pain to animals.
