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.
