SILLY JURA

Once there were two brothers. They were lazy fellows, and thieves

into the bargain. They were expected to give a feast. They said to

one another: "We haven't got anything. Wherever shall we find food

for the feast?"

So the first said: "I'll go to our neighbour's. He has some fine

apples, and I'll pluck some of them."

The second said: "I'll go to the shepherd's. He has some fine

rams. I'll steal a ram from him."

These two brothers hated the third, and so they abused him: "Silly

Jura! You won't get anything yourself, but you'll be ready enough to

eat what we get."
