Two Brothers

            Long time ago,there were two brothers called Akomi and Ombah.They were ambitious and winning.Akomi the elder brother ,said “If we become the king’s employees,we can make laws to collect more money from the people,we will become very rich”.

            They went to see King Aruya .Akomi said,”Your Majesty,let us be your ministers.We will make good laws.All your subjects will be happy.I am wise and clever.I know everything”.

            King Aruya said angrily,”That is not true! No body knows everything.For example,do you know how many stars there are in the sky? Guards! Throw this liar into the river of crocodiles!”

            Ombah’s hands trembled.Then he thought to himself, “King Aruya will also punish me if I say the wrong thing.My brother said he knew everything and his answer was wrong. So if I say the opposite,my answer will be right”. Ombah then said to King Aruya. “Your majesty,I know nothing”.

            King Aruya said,”That is also a lie.Nobody knows nothing truly! Everybody knows at least something.For example,you know your father’s name,don’t you? Guards ! Throw him into the river of crocodiles,too!”

The Wind and The Sun

            The wind and the sun argued about which of them was strongest. the wind said,“ I am so powerful that I can blow all the clouds out of the sky.” The sun said,“ I am more powerful because I can heat up the sea below and this will produce many more clouds.

            For a long time, the sun and the wind went on arguing. Just then, they saw a boy walking along the road below. He was wearing a coat. The wind suddenly had an idea. He said,” Let’s see who can get the coat off the boy’s back.” the sun agreed.

            The wind started first. He blew as hard as he could. He blew from behind and he blew from in front of the boy. The harder he blew, the more tightly the boy held on his coat to keep it from blowing away. after a while, the wind gave up.

            then, it was the sun’s turn. it came out from behind the clouds and shone on the boy. The boy felt warm. After that, it began to get hotter and hotter. Soon, the boy could not stand the heat any longer. He took his coat off. the sun won.
