Two Brothers
Wouldn't it be a wonderful world if all brothers and sisters were like this?
What an awesome, loving environment it would be!
Two brothers worked together on the family farm. One was married and had a large
family. The other was single. At the day's end, the brothers shared everything
equally, produce and profit.
Then one day the single brother said to himself, "It's not right that we should
share equally the produce and the profit. I'm alone and my needs are simple." So
each night he took a sack of grain from his bin and crept across the field
between their houses, dumping it into his brother's bin. Meanwhile, the married
brother said to himself, "Its not right that we should share the produce and the
profit equally. After all, I'm married and I have my wife and my children to
look after me in years to come. My brother has no one, and no one to take care
of his future." So each night, he took a sack of grain and dumped it into his
single brother's bin.
Both men were puzzled for years because their supply of grain never dwindled.
Then one dark night the two brothers bumped into each other. Slowly it dawned on
them what was happening. They dropped their sacks and embraced one another.
