Chapter 9 The Story of Judt and Two Brothers-4

Judt went to the market, gave the butcher a gold coin to buy meat, and said, "Put the rest of the money here, and you can keep it in your account." He bought some more vegetables and took them home.At this time, his two elder brothers were pestering his mother for food, and the mother said: "I don't have anything, you can talk about it after the younger brother comes back." Judt went into the house, handed the food to his brothers, and said, "You guys eat." The two elder brothers rushed over and ate like hungry wolves. Judt gave the rest of the money to his mother and said, "Mom, collect it for me. If I'm not at home and my brothers are hungry, you can let them buy their own food."

That night, Judt had a good night's sleep. Early the next morning, he took the fishing net again and came to the shore of Lake Columbus.He was about to cast a net for fishing when he saw a Moroccan riding a mule suddenly approaching him, with a bulging saddle bag on the mule's back.The man said to him: "Hello, Judt." "Hello, sir." Judt replied in surprise. "Jout! Did a Moroccan come up to you yesterday on one of those mules?" Jute was terrified and dared not admit it. He was afraid that he would ask the cause of the man's death yesterday and regard himself as the murderer, so he could only deny it and said to him, "I didn't see anyone."

"Oh! That man was my brother, and he died before me." "I don't know anything." "Huh? Didn't you tie his arms and push him into the lake? He also said to you at that time: 'If my hands are out of the water, you cast a net to catch me; if my feet are out of the water, then Prove that I am dead. You take the mule to the Jewish merchant Mir, and he will give you a hundred gold coins.' Then his feet were out of the water, and you took the mule to the Jew, and you got a A hundred gold coins?" "Since you know everything, why are you asking me?"

"I ask you to do the same thing you did yesterday. This time I'm going into the water, okay?" Then he took out a ribbon, gave it to Judt, and said, "Tie my hands and push me into the water. If I am as unfortunate as my brother, please lead the mule to the Jew and ask him for a hundred pieces of gold." .Okay, let's do it." Judt approached him and did as he was told. After a while Judt saw his feet come out of the water and thought, "Drowned! Allah, if a Moroccan does this every day, I'll get a hundred ducats from every dead man's head!" That's enough." Judt then led the mule back to the city.

When the Jews saw him, they sighed and said, "Another one has died!" "Take care of yourself." Judt comforted him. "This is the end of greed." The Jew said, and gave Judt a hundred gold coins, and took the mule. With gold coins in his arms, Judt returned home happily, and handed the money to his mother.The mother was surprised and asked, "Son! Where did you get all this money? " Judt told his mother exactly what happened.After hearing this, his mother said, "Son, I'm afraid you will suffer. From today on, don't go fishing in Lake Columbus."

"Mom, they did it voluntarily. Besides, doing this kind of thing is effortless, and you can earn one hundred gold coins a day! Since there is such a beautiful thing, why don't I go? God bless me, I will continue until brother The more Moroccans there are, the better.”
