Star fruit tree.

Once upon a time, a family with two brothers lived in a small village. When their parents died, the greedy old brother took over almost fortune of their family, leaving for the young brother just a small cottage and a star fruit tree.



Every day, the young brother poured water into a star fruit tree. In next to no time, the star fruit tree blossomed and had a lot of star fruits. The young brother took the star fruits and went to supermarket sold them. He just had enough money to buy a little rice to eat.



One day, a huge eagle flew to a star fruit tree. It ate the star fruits. The young brother was very sad. He said:” You ate my star fruits, I will be starve.” And he cried.



A huge eagle replied:” Eat star fruits to pay gold; tomorrow bring the three feet bags to take the gold.”



A next day, a huge eagle came and picked up the young brother and flew through forests, over mountains, through a very wide and deep sea to a big island.The island was filled with gold. The young brother became a rich person.



He bought the farms, orchards, he planted a lot of fruit trees, he praised up animals. He created a lot of jobs for everybody. The small village became populous and wealthy.


In contrast, old brother was too lazy, he only to squandered his money and was a playboy, increasing deteriorating, gradually sold off the wealth of their parents.


He saw his young brother who suddenly become rich. He insisted his young brother changed for him a star fruit tree. He wished:"One day the huge eagle would come back to eat the star fruit, so he could be very rich again."


But he was too greedy. he brought a ten feet bag, he took a lot of gold. It was too heavy for the huge eagle to carry, and lost his balance, so he fell into the sea and disappeared.

Last week, I was listing in computer at ESL class. My friend who sat near me, she was reading the lessons in her computer. Suddenly, I heard someone call me:" Dung, can you help me?"
I took off my headphones and put them on the table. And I went to my friend to help her.
Afterward, I came back my computer, and continued listening, but I didn't hear anything. I turn up the volume, but I still didn't hear anything. I turn up one more time, so no sound. I checked my headphone once more, and I realized my headphone were on the ears my friend. At that moment, my friend looked at me and we both realized, We are wearing each others' headphones! Just both burst out laughing.
