Question

Two brothers worked together on a farm. One was married and had a large 1    . 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 2 that we share all the rice. I’m —3  and I need less than my brother.” So, every night he took a bag of rice from his store-room and —4_ across the field between their houses, putting it into his 5  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 look after me when I am 6    . However, my brother has no one to take

care of his 7    .’ 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 it strange that their 8 never became less. Then, one dark night the two brothers ran into each other. Slowly they began to 9 what was happening. Their bags fell onto the ground and tears 10 their eyes at once.
