The Two Brothers
The Two Brothers
There was a family who lived a happy life. They had two sons. One was Harry and other was Henry. Henry was elder than Harry. Henry was very greedy and rude, whereas Harry was kind and generous. Long time ago their parents died in the forest fire. Henry did not allow Harry to go to school and study so he was a dumb fellow. Their father's very old friend Mr.Sansui would often come to meet these two children. Mr Sansui felt very pity for Harry. All day Henry would eat and sleep and lived a luxurious life whereas Harry had to do all the household work etc. All other people would praise Harry for his behavior.
One day Henry got very angry. In anger he took all the property from his brother and put his name on it and did not tell his brother about this. Mr.Sansui knew everything, he even tried to convince Henry not to do that but was not successful. Mr.Sansui came to their house and said all this to Harry. He was very angry with his brother.
One day Henry was sleeping and Harry went out to take woods for fire. While returning, when he was close to his house he smelt something wrong. He quickly ran towards his house and was stunned to see that his house had caught fire. Harry without taking care of his own life he extinguished fire somehow and went inside and quickly hugged his brother and said everything what had happened. Henry's eyes were filled with tears and thought that Harry put his life in danger to save my life and I just snatched away his property without letting him know! Then Henry asked for forgiveness and lived happily ever after again.
