The Two Brothers

The Two Brothers  Inspirational short Story

Once there were two brothers working and living together on their farm. the oldest one of them was married with a large family and the younger one was single. At the end of every day,  the two brothers share everything equally, produce and profit and anything they get from the farm.

Then one day the younger brother said to himself, “It’s not fair that we should share equally the produce and the profit. I’m alone and my needs are simple.” So each night he took a sack of grain from his bin and crept across the field between their houses, dumping it into his brother’s bin.

Meanwhile, the married brother said to himself, “Its not fair that we should share the produce and the profit equally. 

After all, I’m married and I have my wife and my children to look after me in years to come. My brother has no one, and no one to take care of his future.” So each night, he took a sack of grain and dumped it into his single brother’s bin.

This continued for years and both of them were puzzled in light of the fact that their supply of grain never dwindled. Then at one very dark night the two brothers bumped into each other.Gradually it occurred to them what was going on. They dropped their sacks and hugged  each other.
