Be Wise While Counting

Once upon a time, there was an old farmer who had two sons. He wanted to divide his land equally between his two sons.

One day he called both of them and asked them to count the number of sheep on the farm. The elder son said that he would count them himself while the younger one said that he will take help from his friend.

The elder son started counting the sheep and after some time he gave up thinking that there were too many to count. But the younger one managed to finish the task quickly by taking help from his friend.

He and his brother slept in a bunk bed. He had the bottom bunk. His brother had the top bunk. The top bunk had a guard rail. The rail kept the sleeper safe. His brother didn’t like the rail. He always left it down. One time his brother fell out of the top bunk. He hit the carpet and woke up. He said, “Ouch!” Then he climbed back into the top bunk. When he woke up the next day, his back was sore. Mom took him to see the doctor. The doctor examined him. The doctor said he was okay. He said to keep the guard rail up.

The tree was full of red apples. The farmer was riding his brown horse. He stopped under the tree. He reached out and picked an apple off a branch. He bit into the raw apple. He enjoyed the apple. His horse turned its head to look at him. The farmer picked another apple off the tree. He gave it to the horse. The horse ate the raw apple. The horse enjoyed the apple. The farmer put a dozen apples into a bag. He rode the horse back home. He put the horse in the barn. He walked into his house.
