A Stack of Gold for Starfruit
There were two brothers living in this village. Their parents died, leaving them a fortune, but the
elder brother was greedy. He claimed all the fortune and left the younger brother only a starfruit
tree. Luckily, the tree gave him a lot of fruits. But when the fruits were ripe, a giant raven came
and ate them every day. The younger brother begged to the raven, “Please don’t eat the fruits. If
you eat them, my family will starve.” So the raven responded, “Don’t worry, for each fruit I eat,
I’ll pay you with gold.”
One day, the raven took the man to a secret island, which was full of gold. He filled a small bag.
Then the raven took him home, and he became well-off. Seeing that, the elder brother wanted the
gold too. He traded all of his fortune for the fruit tree.
The raven also took the elder brother to the island. He brought a very big sack and filled it with
gold. The raven got tired on his way back; it got angry and dropped the man into the sea.
