    3. In this lesson we will be thinking about how family and friends care for each other.

    5. This story has been adapted from an Egyptian Legend

    6. Once there were two brothers. When their father died, they inherited his farm.

    7. The soil was poor and the land was dry, except when the Nile flooded.

    8. Life was hard, growing wheat and making it into flour.

    9. But the brothers continued to share everything, just as they had always done.

    10. One day, after the brothers had finished bringing in the harvest, the younger brother said to himself Although we have divided the flour equally, it is not really fair. My brother has a wife and children to feed, while I live alone. He should have more than me.

    11. So he thought of a plan.

    12. That night he went into the barn where his share of the harvest was stored. He counted out six sacks of flour.

    13. Checking that no one was watching, he carried the sacks into his brothers barn.

    14.

    15. As dawn was breaking he took six sacks of flour from his store, and added them to the stash in his brother’s store.

    16. ‘He will never know where these came from’ he thought.

    17. Come the morning, both brothers were perplexed to find exactly the same number of sacks as there had been before they had given the six away.

    18. But neither brother said anything, because they didn’t want the other to learn of their generous gesture.

    19. The following night each brother took a similar gift of flour to the other. Yet in the morning they found the original number of sacks in their barns.

    20. On the third night, as they traversed the rough terrain between their houses, each man saw a figure in the distance under the light of the moon. They wondered who it could be.

    22. As the brothers closed the distance between them, they recognised each other, and then it dawned on them what had happened.

    23. Without a word, they fell into each other’s arms and embraced!

    24. And the moral of this tale? Whatever you give shall come back to you!

    25. Teefa’s Teasers Why do you think the two brothers cared for each other so much? Why did the brothers give without telling each other? Do you have any examples of times when you have given, and it has ‘come back to you’?

    26. Glossary reciprocated – returned, shared compensate – give back, pay off. gesture – a sign or signal. jealousy – envy
