Then the long collaboration fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference which exploded into an exchange of bitter word followed by week of silence.
One morning there was a knock on the elder brother’s door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter’s tool box. “i am looking for a few small jobs here and there. Could i help you?”
“Yes1″ said the elder brother. ” i do have a job for you. Look across the creek at that farm! That’s my neighbour in fact, it’s my younger brother and we don’t get along. Last week he dug a wider passage for water into his farm. But he ended up creating a very wide creek in between our farms and i am sure he did it just to annoy me. I want you to build me something so that we don’t have stand and see each other’s face from across.”
