Once upon a time two brothers who lived on adjoining farms fell into conflict. They had been
sharing machinery, trading a labour and goods as needed without a hitch. Then the long
collaboration fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major
difference which exploded into an exchange of bitter word followed by week of silence.
One morning there was a knock on the elder brother’s door. He opened it to find a man with a
carpenter’s tool box. “i am looking for a few small jobs here and there. Could i help you?”
“Yes1″ said the elder brother. ” i do have a job for you. Look across the creek at that farm!
That’s my neighbour in fact, it’s my younger brother and we don’t get along. Last week he dug a
wider passage for water into his farm. But he ended up creating a very wide creek in between our
farms and i am sure he did it just to annoy me. I want you to build me something so that we don’t
have stand and see each other’s face from across.”
The carpenter said, “i think i understand the situation. i will be able to do a job that will please
you.” The elder brother had to go to town for supplies, so he helped the carpenter get the
materials ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all that day
measuring, sawing, nailing.
At sunset when the elder brother returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The elder
brother’s eyes opened wide and his jay dropped. It was not what he had even thought of or
imagined. It was a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work,
beautiful handrails. To his surprise, his younger brother across the creek was coming to meet him
with a big smile and arms wide open to hug him.
