   Once upon a time a man and women had three sons. They were so poor that they could not feed them. The three sons went out into the world to earn their fortune. The youngest was the nicest of them all, and his two brothers got jealous of him. Then the youngest brother fell asleep, and while he was asleep his brothers cut off one of his feet and tour out his eyes. His two brothers went away leaving their brother alone. There was a well near by, and anyone who went into it got cured. The young boy was scrawling around and he fell into the well. and he got well again. He took a bottle of water with him.
