Chapter 7 The Story of Judt and Two Brothers-2

Judt spent the night with his two older brothers, lovingly. After breakfast the next day, he went out to fish with his net as usual.His two older brothers wandered freely.At noon, the mother brought out food and drink for the two brothers.In the evening, Judt bought meat and vegetables, and after they were cooked, the mother and son ate together. Day after day, Judt fished every day to make money and support his family.His two older brothers enjoy the fruits of his labor and are at ease all day long. Before I knew it, a month had passed. On this day, Judt took the fishing net to the beach to fish as usual.The first net was empty, the second net was also empty, and not a single fish was caught.He muttered: "There is no fish here!" Then he changed to another place, but he still didn't catch any fish.He changed many places one after another, and worked all day from morning to night, without any gain.

He sighed: "It's so strange! Are there no fish in the sea? What's the matter?" He sadly returned home with his fishing net on his back, thinking that if he had nothing to bring home, what would his mother and brothers do?He dragged his heavy steps, passing by the door of the bakery, and saw many people fighting for bread with money in their hands. The business of the bakery was booming, and he stood dejectedly aside.The bread-seller said to him, "Hey, Judt! Get a loaf of bread!" He was silent. The bread seller said to him again: "If you don't have any money, you can eat it first, and give me money later."

"Okay, please give me the bread for fifty cents on credit." "You can spend another fifty cents. It's the money for ordering fish. You can bring twenty fish tomorrow." "Excellent, eh! I'll be sure to bring it to you tomorrow." Judt took bread and money, bought something to eat, and thought: "Allah will bless me tomorrow!" He hurried home.His mother cooks, everyone eats, and then goes to bed. Early the next morning, when he was about to go out with his fishing net, his mother said, "Don't be too busy, go after breakfast." "You and your brothers can eat." After he finished speaking, he walked out to the beach and cast a net for fishing.On this day, it was another empty net one after another, with no gains.Later, he still changed places and fished at the same time. He was busy until the sun went down, but he was still empty-handed and got nothing.Helpless, he had no choice but to carry the empty fishing net on his back and set foot on his way home.The only place he could borrow was from the bakery.He came to the shop hesitantly, and the bread seller, seeing his predicament, hurriedly gave him the bread and money, and said to him:

"It's okay, Judt, just pay me back tomorrow." Judt wanted to apologize, but the bread seller just kept saying, "Go, it's okay! You don't have to be polite. You must have nothing to gain. I will understand everything when I see that you are empty-handed. If you don't catch fish tomorrow, you Just come and get the bread to eat. Don’t be shy, and return it to me when you have it.” On the third day, Judt went fishing in a small lake instead.Busy and busy, from sunrise to sunset, the net is still empty, so I have to bite the bullet and borrow money and bread on credit to live.
