Two Brothers Who Threw Away Their Lumps of Gold
Once upon a time, there were two brothers who lived in a village.
They were getting along well with each other.
The elder one loved his younger brother, and the younger one respected and followed his elder brother.
One day the two brothers were crossing a stream bridge.
The younger brother shouted,
"Look there in the water!
There's something glittering, isn't there?"
The elder brother said, "Yes. I wonder what it is."
"Please wait a moment. I'll go there and bring it."
The younger brother brought two lumps of gold from under the water.
"Two lumps of gold! Please have this one,
my elder brother. It's yours."
"No, I won't. Both are yours because you picked them up."
"Never, but you should have one."
At last, each of the mutually friendly brothers possessed one lump of gold.
Later on, the two brothers were riding in a boat on a river.
Suddenly the younger brother took out his lump of gold and threw it away into the river.
"Oh, my younger brother!
Why are you throwing away such a valuable thing?"
As the elder brother asked, the younger brother answered.
"I always respect and follow you, my elder brother."
"But after each of us got a lump of gold today,
a strange thought occurred to me."
"What's that?"
"I thought both lumps of gold would have been mine"
"if you hadn't been with me there"
"so I began to hate you."
"But now I've decided I would be better without the gold because it makes me hate you."
After hearing his younger brother's explanation,
the elder brother also threw away his gold into the river.
"You are right. I also thought the same way for a moment.
But those lumps of gold must not break our brotherly love."
After throwing away their gold, the two people continued to live as good brothers to each other.
