Long, long time ago there lived two brothers. They had
completely different characters. The big brother was very stingy and greedy. He
never shared his wealth with poor people, even with his little brother. The
little brother was exactly the opposite. He was generous and kind to poor
people. Even he had not much money, had would share it with the poor.
One day the generous brother was sitting in his garden
when suddenly a little bird fell on his lap. It was wounded. He took care of
it, fed it, and put it in a nice cage. After the bird was healthy, the generous
brother let it fly. After some time the bird returned to him and gave him a
watermelon seed.
The generous brother then planted the seed and watered it
until it grew into a good watermelon plant. Yet, the plant was very strange. It
had only one fruit; a big and heavy one. When the watermelon was ripe enough,
the generous brother picked it and cut it into two. How surprised he was. The
watermelon was full of gold.
The generous brother sold the gold and got very rich. He
built a house for his elder brother and bought a very large field. Still, he
never forgot to share his wealth with the poor. After being treated kindly by
his younger brother, the elder brother changed his personalities and became a
better person.
