Once there lived a rich farmer, his name is Mr. Lee. Later years on, he had two sons. The older son named Joshua whilst the younger son named Steven. Since young, they had been living together happily and free.
But years went by, until they reach their age of adulthood. Mr. Lee decides to split his shares into two,giving it to his both sons. Joshua was glad with his share, which is half of the land and he began to earn money by improving the land and hiring more workers to work at the farm. Steven, however, is not really happy with his share. Slowly, he began to get restless because he was unhappy with his lot. He sees that his older brother is earning a lot of money while he is earning nothing besides his small business in the city.
One day, Steven decided to talk to his father about the share that he was unhappy about.
“Father, I want to talk to you about the shares that you gave us.” Steven said.
“What's wrong with it son? Aren't you happy about it?” Mr. Lee questioned his son with a weak tone.
“I don't feel that the share is fair,we had the shares but Joshua is earning more than I, I think Joshua’s land is better than mine, therefore I need a bigger shares rather than a piece of land in the farm.”Steven said.
“Son, you know I'm a fair guy. Besides, Joshua knows who to manage his land, why can't you follow his steps to success? This decision had been made for quite a long time, I advise you to just stick to your own share and manage it wisely.”his father advised him.
“No means no, I can wait and see my money flow being so slow. Besides, you're old and ignorant. Of course you won't listen to me, you only listen to your precious Joshua, aren't you!?I'm going back to my room.”Joshua shouted in a stern voice and left the room, leaving his father in shocked.
The next day his father decided to meet his younger son and decided to tell him that he is giving a third of his property.
But later then, Steven decided to sell his share of the property and left for another country. He began to led a luxurious life, he then decided to spent a lot of his money on gambling. Bit by bit, he then spend all of his money on casinos and betting. He later became a pauper and regret that he did not listen to his father's advise.
