The Beggars’ Shame
July 9, 2009 7:00 am Passion/VisionYou may be wondering what ever happened to the other two brothers. Well…
One day two beggars walked slowly down the road. They were the two elder sons of the widow, and it was clear from their appearance that they had long ago squandered all the gold they had. Astonished to see such a beautiful place, they decided to stop and beg something from the owner.
But when they looked across the fields, they suddenly recognized that the people happily picnicking by the pretty stream were none other than thei very own mother and brother–and a beautiful lady who must be the brother’s wife. Blushing with shame, they quickly picked up their begging sticks and crept away silently.
