many years ago three brothers lived in a
small isolated Village they were known
far and wide as hard workers and lovers
of knowledge but their hearts longed to
hear about the legendary wisdom of King
schlomo the wisest King in the
world one day after finishing their work
in the field the brothers sat under the
large fig tree and spoke
they say King schlomo can solve any
riddle and that in his Palace there are
Treasures of knowledge that you won't
find anywhere else said the eldest
brother with sparkling
eyes he even knows how to talk to
animals added the Middle Brother
enthusiastically then let's go to him
said the youngest
brother the brothers decided to leave
the village to learn from the king's
wisdom
with heavy hearts they said goodbye to
their wives and children promised to
return one day and set off on the long
journey to
Jerusalem in King schlomo's Palace the
brothers served Faithfully learned his
wisdom and enjoyed the wealth and
Splendor around them 13 years passed and
their longing for home began to gnaw at
their
hearts one day the brothers approached
schlomo and said our beloved King we
have learned much from your wisdom and
served you
wholeheartedly now we wish to return to
our
families schlomo looked at them with
Wise Eyes and said I will gladly let you
go but before you leave I offer you a
gift each of you may choose 100 gold
coins or three pieces of wise advice
the brothers consulted with each other
gold will provide for us for many years
said the eldest
brother what can you do with advice
added the middle brother and so they all
chose the gold
coins they bid farewell to the king
warmly and began their ride
home the youngest brother suddenly
stopped his horse the last rays of
sunlight touched his head and his heart
pounded
strongly a single thought wouldn't leave
him like a little bird chirping
constantly what if schlomo's advice is
worth more than
gold after all he is the wisest King in
the
world he looked at his brothers who were
riding ahead laughing and
carefree Brothers he called his voice
trembling
slightly I
think I think I will return to the
Palace I prefer the advice over the
gold the brothers stopped looked at him
and then burst out laughing loudly their
laughter echoing across the
[Music]
[Laughter]
hills have you lost your mind shouted
the eldest brother in a voice full of
disdain you're giving up 100 gold coins
for Words Words won't buy you a new
horse or a fancy
house you're just foolish added the
Middle Brother with a mocking
smile but the youngest brother didn't
listen I don't know he said
quietly but in my heart I feel it's the
right
thing he pulled on his horse's rains
turned it around and rode back to the
Palace the youngest brother arrived at
schlomo's Palace as the sun set on the
horizon painting the sky with gold and
red the palace guards cleared the way
for him and schlomo greeted him with a
wide Smile as if he had known in advance
that he would
return my son said King schlomo your
choice is wise gold is fleeting but
wisdom lasts forever take from me these
three people pieces of
advice the first
advice never continue on your way after
Sunset even if it seems there is still
light stop and camp for the night this
is a sure way to preserve your
life the second advice when you come to
a river and its waters are high and
raging do not cross it immediately wait
sometimes patience is your
salvation and the third
advice perhaps the most important of all
never share your secrets with anyone not
even with your wife keep them close to
your
heart the youngest brother listened
attentively as if every word was a
pearl thank you my king he said bowing I
will keep these pieces of advice in my
heart schlomo smiled stroked his head
and said go in peace and may you have
good fortune the youngest brother
mounted his horse and set out again with
the three pieces of advice accompanying
him like good
[Music]
friends as evening
fell the youngest brother looked at the
disappearing son and remembered
schlomo's
advice never continue on the way after
Sunset I I must stop he thought looking
for a suitable place to pitch his
tent the other brothers seeing him stop
turned their heads back and rolled their
eyes what now called the middle brother
I'm stopping for the night the youngest
brother replied it's not good to
continue after
Sunset the brothers burst out laughing
again
[Laughter]
what a coward what will happen to you at
night there's still enough light we can
keep going said the eldest brother but
the youngest brother insisted please he
said early stopping is better the
brothers didn't listen they galloped
forward through the trees leaving the
youngest brother behind the youngest
brother set up his tent under a large
oak tree lit a small fire prayed to the
light of the stars and ate the food he
brought he felt a deep sense of security
as if schlomo's advice was guarding him
personally deep in the dark Forest under
a sky covered with heavy clouds the
older brothers struggled to advance
their tired and hungry horses groped
their way between the Tangled trees the
cold wind blew strongly ra in snowflakes
that gradually piled up on the ground
forming a heavy white
blanket eventually exhaustion overcame
them we have no choice said the eldest
brother with a trembling voice we must
stop they dismounted their horses and
gathered under a large tree seeking
Shelter From the snow and the cold their
hands trembled and their bodies
struggled to warm up even though they
tried to wrap themselves in their thin
cloaks the second brother looked around
with red eyes from worry and said maybe
our younger brother was right we should
have stopped with him why did we laugh
at
him the eldest nodded slowly his eyes
full of
regret we thought he was foolish but he
was the wisest of us now it's too late
the snow continued to fall stubbornly
covering the brothers and their horses
slowly the cold air seeped into their
bones and they knew in their hearts that
the end was
near I wish we had listened to him they
whispered before closing their eyes for
the first and last time that dark
night in the morning when the sun rose
and the air filled with the chirping of
birds the youngest brother awoke prayed
packed his belongings and rode
on when he reached the forest he found
his brothers Frozen in the snow his
heart broke and his tears fell like
raindrops on the white
snow if only you had listened he
whispered he buried them in the ground
took their gold coins and continued on
his way determined to be even more
cautious days passed and the youngest
brother rode through winding paths
between Green Hills and magical valleys
one day he reached a wide Deep River its
Raging Waters roared like a lion
spraying white foam in all
directions he stopped his horse by the
bank
inside what
now then as if schlomo himself whispered
in his ear he remembered the second
piece of
advice wait for the waters to
subside it will take time he thought but
the king knows what he's talking
about the youngest brother dismounted
sat on a rock and began watching the
water birds flew over the river and the
sun illuminated the clear
skies suddenly King schlomo's servants
appeared appeared over the trail riding
donkeys loaded with heavy sparkling
sacks why are you sitting here like a
statue called one of them the water
isn't that high we've crossed this River
many times the youngest brother smiled
and politely replied I'm waiting for the
waters to subside as king schlomo
advised the servants burst into
[Laughter]
laughter another one of these wise men
muttered one of them come on friends
let's go they whipped their donkeys and
entered the river at first they seemed
calm but then the water began to rise as
if the river was angry that they had
crossed too early the current grew
stronger and the treasures washed away
like leaves in the Stream their cries
were drowned by the Roar of the water
and eventually everything was
silent the youngest brother took a deep
breath schlomo was right he said to
himself he waited by the river bank for
several hours and the waters gradually
receded as if by Magic when the river
became calm he crossed it carefully and
gathered the treasures that had been on
the donkeys Gold Silver and precious
stones sparkling like stars
after several days the youngest brother
finally arrived home exhausted but
excited when his brother's wives saw him
approaching they ran to meet him their
eyes gleaming with curiosity and
concern where are our husbands one of
them asked they're all right right added
another the youngest brother swallowed
and took a deep breath he did want to
upset them with the painful
truth they stayed at King schlomo's
Palace he said
softly they wanted to learn more from
his great wisdom in the meantime they
sent you a gift 100 gold coins for each
of you the women looked at each other
relaxed and went into their homes
holding the heavy sacks of
coins the youngest brother returned home
where his wife received him
joyfully what happened on the journey
where did all this wealth come from she
asked but he just smiled and answered
briefly don't
ask it's all thanks to King schlomo's
blessing the wealth he gathered on the
way soon made him a successful and
respected man he opened large trading
businesses bought fields and properties
and and his name spread far and wide
people came to him for advice impressed
by his wisdom and
prosperity but his wife didn't calm down
she kept asking where did all this money
come from what happened to your brothers
she asked day after day the brother
remembering schlomo's advice don't tell
anyone your secrets avoided
answering it doesn't matter he would
reply gently but his wife was incredibly
persistent she asked probed and
eventually after months of pressure he
broke down and told her the whole truth
how he had chosen advice over gold how
his brothers hadn't survived and how he
came to possess the
[Music]
treasures sometime later a heated
argument broke out between the couple
you killed your brothers for this money
shouted his wife in Fury and you want me
to stay quiet about it your money is
stolen and stained with
blood the neighbors who heard the
shouting sneaked behind the window and
listened to every
word a few hours later the rumor spread
throughout the village and from there it
made its way straight to King schlomo's
ears
schlomo having heard the story
immediately summoned the youngest
brother for a trial the Magnificent
Palace was filled with people and the
brother's wives arrived claiming he was
a murderer and
Thief what do you have to say for your
defense King schlomo asked
aloud the youngest brother knelt tears
in his eyes and pleaded my king don't
you remember me I'm the youngest brother
brother who chose your advice over Gold
Everything I did I did because of it I
didn't kill my brothers and I didn't
steal
anything schlomo looked at him silently
then furrowed his brow trying to
remember suddenly his face lit up I
remember you he said with a smile yes
you were the wise one of the three and
now I understand it's the truth with you
the king turned to the women and the
people present in the hall raising his
hand in a
proclamation this man is innocent all
his wealth came to him through Justice
and wisdom he is neither a murderer nor
a
thief the youngest brother breathed a
sigh of relief and the King added if you
acquired
wisdom what do you lack wisdom is worth
more than all the money and gold in the
world
youngest brother returned home this time
determined to keep his Secrets forever
he lived in happiness and wealth and the
wisdom he learned from schomo made him a
wise men loved by all
