There lived two twin brothers called Sam and Tom. They were twins, but they were different in some ways. Sam loved sweets and Tom loved to eat spicy food. Sam was mommy's pet and Tom was daddy's pet. While Sam was generous, Tom was greedy!
As they grew up, their father wanted to give his money to his two sons. He wanted to share his money equally. However, Tom did not agree. He wanted more money.
Their father had an idea. He decided to organize a competition between the two brothers. And he ordered the two sons to walk as long as they could. They should return home before sunset. Whoever covered the longer distance and returned home before sunset would get more money. They didn't carry watches to calculate time.
