Once there lived two brothers who lost their parents at their early age. They worked together on the family farm. Some years later, the elder married and had a large family of six children, while the other was still single. They worked hard together in the day and at the end of each day they shared their produce equally.

One day while the single brother was working in the fields, he thought to himself, "It's not right that we share equally everything. I'm alone and my needs are simple. My brother has a big family. He needs much more. " With that in mind, he took a bag of grain and crept across the field between their houses, putting it into his brother's barn  quietly. He did so every night.

Meanwhile, the married brother thought to himself, "It's not right that we share everything equally. After all, I'm married and I have my wife and children to look after me in years to come. My brother has no family, and no one can take care of his future. He really should have a bigger share." So each night he took a bag of grain and put it into his brother's barn quietly.

This went on and both men were puzzled for years because their grain never dwindled. They decided to find out what happened.

Then one night, on the way to each other's barn, the two brothers meet each other. They knew what was happening! They dropped their bags and embraced each another in the moonlit night
