THE GOLDEN STAR-FRUIT TREE

A long time ago, there was a rich old man living in Vietnam. He had two sons. They had very different
attitudes. The older brother was very greedy, but the younger brother was very kind. When the old man died,
the brothers divided his father's wealth into two parts. The big brother took almost everything. He gave his
younger brother only a small piece of land, with a star-fruit tree in front of it. The younger brother did not
mind. From the on he lived there and made his living only by selling star fruits from the tree.

Unfortunately, a very big raven often came and ate all the ripe fruits. At first, he was too afraid of the
raven, and did not know what to do. But one day he dared to approach the raven. He begged to it not eat the
fruits. "If you eat the fruit, I will have nothing to sell to the market, and my family will starve."

Surprisingly the raven was not angry. He replied, "I need the fruits too. Can I have them and I'll pay to
you with gold. Bring a 1-meter long bag, and I'll bring to place full of gold and you can fill the bag full with
gold." The younger brother then told his wife to make 1-meter long bag. When the bag was done, he climbed
on the raven's back and they flew to a place full of gold. He filled the bag full with gold, and then flew back
home on the raven's back. From the on, the younger brother and his family could live happily in luxury.

On the commemoration of his father's death, he invited his older brother to come to his house.
Thinking that his brother had a poor house, the big brother refused to come. But because his younger brother
insisted, he and his wife finally decided to come. When they got to the younger brother's house, they were
surprised to see that he was now very rich.

He asked his younger brother how he had got all his wealth, and the younger brother was happy to
tell him the truth. Then,the greedy brother and his wife offered the younger brother to trade all their fortune
for the star-fruit tree. The younger brother gladly accepted the offer. Soon the older brother and his family
moved to the house with the star-fruit tree. When the raven came for the star fruits, the older brother made
the same plea. As expected, the raven told him to bring a 1-meter long a bag.

Because he was greedy, he asked his wife to make a much longer bag. When the bag was the bag
done, he climbed on the raven's back and then they flew to the place full of gold. He filled the big bag with
gold. He also brought some gold in his pockets. On the way home, the load soon became too heavy for the
raven. Unable to hang on, the raven swayed, and the greedy brother fell straight down to the sea with his bag
and pockets full of gold. He sank very fast down the sea. The older died because of his greediness.
