When the two brothers were old enough to marry, their father was not happy. Because their family wasn't so rich that the1often quarreled（争吵） with each other about some small things. And he really didn't know how they would quarrel when they separated from the family and lived2.
One day, their father was sick, 3in bed and looking at nothing, when the elder son came over to wish him good health. His father said, "Ask your brother to come here4to say."
The5brother arrived. Their father sat up and said, "I don't know how the illness hit. I'm feeling terribly unwell." "The brothers told their father not to6about it, but he shook his head, "In fact I don't worry about this disease7I can manage it. But if you are not in peace with each other in the future, it will be our family's8and no one can deal with it. "The brothers felt that they were wrong.
The father got out of the bed, pointed to some chickens in the garden and said, "Look at them siting there in9with each other, isn't it good? " Then their father brought out a bowl of corns, went quietly behind the house and spread 10of them on the ground. Then he went back to the11with only a few corns left and threw at the chickens. As soon as the chickens saw the corns, they jumped up, moved their wings up and down and12for them. The peaceful world was now filled with "smoke of gunpowder（火药）"13some corns.
The brothers smiled and understood14their father meant. Their father added, "Both of you saw more15are behind the house…"
In fact, aren't there many troubles in life because God scattered（撒） some corns before us?
