Short story: Two brothers

Two brothers

Two brothers worked on a family land together; one of them was married and had a large family and the other one single. By night two brothers shared everything of interest and crop between themselves. Once, the single brother thought in himself:" It's not fair to share everything, I'm single and I have no expenses; but he manages a large family." So when night fell, he picked up a sack full of wheat and took it to his brother's barn furtively and strewed it on his crop. Meantime, the married brother thought in himself that:" it's not fair to share everything together I'm married and settled down but he hasn’t married yet and needs to provide for the future." So when night fell, he picked up a sack full of wheat and took it to his brother's barn furtively and strewed it on his crop

***

Years passed and two brothers were wondered why their store of wheat was always the same and equal. Until, in a dark night two brothers met each other in the way of barn. They gazed at each other for a while then without uttering a word they put their sacks on the ground and embraced one another
