There lived two brothers. The eldest was married and had children. And the youngest was single. The brothers did not want to live together and divided everything they had. When they divided the grain, the pits in which it was stored ended up with the elder on one side of the current, and with the younger on the other.
The elder brother secretly took grain from his hole and poured it into his brother’s hole, saying:
“God gave me a wife and children, I have someone to earn my bread.” And my brother has no one. Let him eat this bread.
But the younger brother also took grain from his hole and secretly poured it into the hole of his elder brother, saying:
“I’m alone on earth, no matter where I wander, I can easily find food.” My brother has a family, he needs more than me. Let this bread go to him.
They lived like this all their lives. God increased the good of both brothers, and the share of each did not become scarce. The Lord always helps in good and good deeds.
