All _______ well at first. Then every now and then, the married man began to wake from his sleep at night and think: “This isn’t ________. My brother isn’t married, he’s all _______, and he gets only half the produce of the farm. Here I am with a wife and five kids, _______ I have all the security I need for my old age. But who will _______ my poor brother when he gets old? He needs to _______ much more for the future than he does at the present, so his need is _______ greater than mine.”

_______ that he would get out of bed, _______ over to his brother’s place and pour a sackful of grain into his brother’s granary(粮仓).

The bachelor brother _______ began to get the same _______. Every once in a while he would _______ from his sleep and say to himself: “My brother has a(n) _______ and five kids and he gets only half the produce of the land. Now I have no one except myself to _______. So should my poor brother, whose need is clearly greater than mine, receive _______ as much as I do? ” Then he would get out of bed and pour a sackful of grain into his brother’s granary.

One night they got out of bed at the same time and ______ to meet on the way, each with a sack of grain on his _______!
