Two brothers worked together on a farm. One was married and had a large  51 . The other had no wife yet. Although they lived in different houses, they shared everything they got from their farm.

One day, the single brother said to himself, “It’s not  52  that we share all the rice. I’m  53  and I need less than my brother.” So, every night he took a bag of rice from his store-room and  54  across the field  55  their houses, putting it into his brother’s store-room.

At the same time, the married brother thought, “It’s not fair to share all the rice. I’m married and I have my wife and children to  56  me when I am  57 . However, my brother has no one to take care of his  58 .” So, each night he also took a bag of rice and put it into his brother’s store-room.

Several months passed by. They found  59  strange that their rice never became less. Then, one dark night the two brothers ran into each other. Slowly they began to understand what was happening. Their bags fell onto the ground and tears  60  their eyes at once.

Dear Nancy,
You asked about places to go and things to do in our town. The Downtown Mall is always  51  . It’s a   52  place in the oldest part of town. There are some good stores and restaurants there.    53  , Trendy Clothing Store is in Downtown Mall. It’s a fun place to shop, and it has the   54   quality clothes. The shop assistants are friendly   55   people. My favorite     56   in town is Nick’s Restaurant. It is close to my house. It’s cheap and the hamburgers there are great. I like Dragon City Restaurant,    57  . You can eat wonderful noodles there and the beef noodles are the most delicious! You must try the dumplings there, too. But it’s more expensive than Nick’s. The Big Cinema is the best cinema in town. It has the biggest screen and the most  58   seats. The Del Ray Complex is also a good place to see movies. It doesn’t have the 59  movies, but the tickets are the cheapest.
Anyway, there are lots of things to do and to see here. Come for a   60  soon!
Love,
Kate
