Two brothers worked together on a farm. One was married and had a large    36   .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    37    that we share all the rice. I’m   38    and I need less than my brother.” So, every night he took a bag of rice from his store-room and    39   across the field    40    their houses, putting it into his brother’s 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   41   me when I am   42  . However, my brother has no one to take care of his   43    .” 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    44   strange that their rice never became less. Then, one dark night the two brothers ran into each other. Slowly they began to understand what was happening. Their bags fell onto the ground and tears    45   their eyes at once.
