Once up on a time, there was a family with two brothers who were very different.
The
younger brother was kind and gentle, while the older brother was greedy and
mean.
One day when their parents died, the older brother took the whole fortune that his parents left behind and gave his brother only a tiny hut and the star fruit tree.
But the younger brother didn’t complain and he was happy with what he got!
He took very good care of his star fruit tree and watered it every day.
After a while, thanks to his hard work, the tree was full of fruits.
When the star fruits began to ripen, a giant raven came every morning to eat them.
No matter what the
younger brother did, he couldn’t chase the big black bird away.
The younger brother didn’t know what to do but
cry: “Poor me, the only thing I have was what that star fruit tree gave me.
. Now, look, this bird took it all. I am going
to be so hungry!” . And then a miracle happened!
The raven heard what
he said and perched down replying in a human voice:
“Star fruit I eat,
with gold I pay, be ready with a three-foot bag and follow me to get it”.
A few days later, the bird came back to invite the younger brother to take a seat on his back with the bag.
Then they disappeared together into the horizon.
The bird took him very far before landing on an island that was full of gold.
He filled the bag and the raven took him back to his home.
Star Fruit Tree
From then on, he had a luxurious life and often helped the poor people who did not have any money at all.
