...poverty, a pair of shoes, barefooted...

Once upon a time, there were two brothers who lived in poverty. One day, they decided to buy a pair of shoes with their savings. They promised that the older brother will wear the shoes during the day time and the younger brother to wear the shoes during the night.

During the day time, the older brother wear the shoes and wondering here and there without cause and doing nothing at all beside walking and walking. He thought by walking non stop would not lose him anything. He walk and walk till dusk and till then he will feel tired, then only he would return the shoes to his younger brother.

When night falls, the younger brother will take turn to wear the shoes. He also thought that while having a fair share on the shoes, he would used it to the maximum.
The younger brother walk without direction from dusk to dawn. He would not rather sleep nor rest awhile. Due to lack of sleep and resting, the younger brother health becomes deteriorated. He looks frail all the times.

The pair of shoes becoming worn-off due to non-stop usage. The older brother decided to buy a new pair of shoes and persuades his younger brother to share. The younger brother insists, "O Older brother, just buy it for your own and on your own. For I prefer to walk barefooted as before. At least,when I'm tired I can catch some sleeps during night time.

Morale of the story: When the spirits of sharing are neglected,it is impossible to obtain results from unity.

QUANDO CALA LA NOTTE, a glass of fresh milk and a set of chicken sandwiches will make my night completes without question.
