Once there lived two brothers. The elder was called Simon and the younger was Victor. They always           each other. Every day they worked from morning          night, getting as much grain谷物 as possible from their fields.
One late autumn evening, after their work was done, Simon said to his wife, "Victor got married last month. He has many bills to      . I think I will put a bag of rice in his barn谷仓." "Oh, that"s a good idea," said his wife. "But please don"t tell him," said Simon, "If he knows I put the rice there, he will         take it.”
So, late that night Simon took a bag of rice to Victor"s barn. The next day, while looking at his own barn, he was surprised. "I took a bag of rice to Victor"s house last night,      I still have
the same number of bags in my barn.        did that happen?"
Simon decided to take        bag of rice to his brother"s barn that night. But the next morning, he found the same number of bags in his barn again! "This is very strange," he thought.
That night he tried again. He carried a large bag of rice on his shoulder, and went out to his younger brother"s house. In the bright moonlight, he could see someone         down the road. He was carrying something on his shoulder as well.
"Younger Brother!" Simon cried when he came near the man , "What are you doing?"
"I was         you, Older Brother," said Victor, "Your family is larger than mine. I thought you needed more rice. “The two brothers quickly         that they took rice to each other. They laughed about what had happened. "It is good to have a brother like you," they both said. And they lived happily ever since.
