== 1553 Version ==
Three brothers had just lost their father to a terrible illness and were trying to decide how to divide up their father's estate. The estate was no larger than a large farm which produced plentiful crops. The three brothers decided to run the estate as a co-operative and would share the profit equally between themselves. The first year there was a poor harvest and the people were force to eat grubs to survive through winter months but they formed a closer bond of unity because of it. However the next year the harvest was bounteous and the brothers had more than enough to share amongst themselves. So they split up the harvest until they came across something they could not split, a marrow. The eldest brother claimed it for himself as he was the eldest. The second brother claimed it as he had the largest family to feed. The youngest brother suggested that they take it to market sell it and share the money between them. The other brothers mocked him for suggesting that and not wanting to take the marrow for himself. There was then a bitter family feud which lasted about eight months. In the end however the brothers realised that the youngest brother should not be mocked by them and so made their peace and sold the marrow. So never let someone with a different way of thinking prejudice you against them. Never ridicule someone as this can lead to much destruction and loss of wealth. "Wealth" said the youngest brother "is a great tool which can do good or bad".
