Long ages ago there dwelt in a city of Western India two brothers.
As the elder brother had no inheritance, and made a poor living by
selling herbs and wood, he suffered the common fate of those in needy
circumstances, and received no great consideration from his fellow-men.
The younger brother on the other hand was wealthy, yet gave he no
portion of his riches to his brother.
One day he gave a great entertainment, to which he invited all his rich
neighbours and acquaintances, but to his brother he sent no invitation.
