The Four Clever Brothers (1)

There was once a poor man who had four sons.

When they were grown up he said to them, " My dear boys, you must now go and earn your own living. Learn a trade and see how well you can get on in the world. "

So the four brothers said goodbye to their father, and walked out of the town gate together.

When they had traveled for some time, they came to a crossroads, each had leading to a different country.

The eldest brother said, " Here we must part and go our separate ways. We will have a better chance of finding work. "

Then the youngest brother said, " Let us meet each other again at this spot in four years' time. Then we can tell each other our adventure. "
