Two brothers worked together on a farm. One was married and had a large 51 . The other had no wife yet. Although they lived in different houses, they shared everything they got from their farm.
One day, the single brother said to himself, “It’s not 52 that we share all the rice. I’m 53 and I need less than my brother.” So, every night he took a bag of rice from his store-room and 54 across the field 55 their houses, putting it into his brother’s store-room.
At the same time, the married brother thought, “It’s not fair to share all the rice. I’m married and I have my wife and children to 56 me when I am 57 . However, my brother has no one to take care of his 58 .” So, each night he also took a bag of rice and put it into his brother’s store-room.
Several months passed by. They found 59 strange that their rice never became less. Then, one dark night the two brothers ran into each other. Slowly they began to understand what was happening. Their bags fell onto the ground and tears 60 their eyes at once.
