One late autumn evening, after their work in the 3 was done, Simon said to his wife," Victor got married last month. He has many bills(账单) to pay. 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 4 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 found 5 strange,"I took a bag of rice to Victor's house last night, 6 I still have the same number of bags in my barn. 7 did that happen?"
Simon decided to take another bag of rice to his brother's barn that night. But the next morning, he found the 8 number of bags in his barn again!" This is very strange," he thought. That night he 9 again. He carried a large bag of rice on his shoulder (肩膀) , and walked down the road to his younger brother's house. In the bright moonlight, he could see another 10 coming down the road. He was carrying something on his 11 , too." Younger Brother!" Simon cried," What are you doing?""I was 12 you, Older Brother," said Victor," Your family is 13 than mine. I thought you needed more rice." The two brothers quickly 14 that they had been taking rice to each other. They 15 what had happened." It is good to have a brother like you," they both said. And they lived happily ever after.
