The Four Clever Brothers (5) [Four Clever Brothers]

The Four Clever Brothers (5)

When four years are over, as promised the four brothers met at the crossroads.
They were very happy to see each other again and they threw their arms around each other.

They returned home to their father who was delighted to see them all.

They together sat in the garden under a large tree, and the young men told their father about the trades they had learned.

Then the father said, " I will put you all to the test, and see what you can do. "

He looked up and said to his second son, " At the top of this tree there is a chaffinch's nest. How many eggs are in it ? "

The astronomer took his telescope, looked up, and said, " There are five. "

Then the father said to the eldest son.
" See if you can take the eggs away from under the mother bird, without her knowing anything about it. "

The skillful thief climbed up and took the eggs fro beneath the bird without her feeling anything.
The father took the eggs and put one on each corner of the table and fifth egg in the middle.
