Two brothers worked together on the family farm. One was married
and had a large family. The other was single. At the day's end, the
brothers shared everything equally, produce and profit.

Then one day the single brother said to himself, "It's not right that we
should share equally the produce and the profit. I'm alone and my
needs are simple." So each night he took a sack of grain from his
bin and crept across the field between their houses, dumping it into
his brother's bin.

Meanwhile, the married brother said to himself, "It's not right that we
should share the produce and the profit equally. After all, I'm married
and I have my wife and my children to look after me in years to come.
My brother has no one, and no one to take care of his future." So each
night he took a sack of grain and dumped it into his single brother's bin.

Both men were puzzled for years because their supply of grain never
dwindled. Then one dark night the two brothers bumped into each other.
Slowly it dawned on them what was happening. They dropped their sacks
and embraced one another.
