There were three brothers in a family. They loved each other, cared for each other just way the parent takes care of their children, laughed together, and shared happiness with each other.
They always had their food altogether and promised that they will never leave anyone alone to suffer. Everyone in the village was jealous of their brotherhood. One day there was a flood in the village. In this disaster, only one could have saved. But no one wanted to lose other brothers. The younger brother wanted to protect the elder and the elder wanted to make younger life. They were confused and no one left the hands of each other. All three brothers died in the disaster. They proved that their brotherhood was real, pure, and free from selfishness.
God wanted to test their brotherhood. The three souls once again meet in heaven. Seeing each other, they were not surprised. They promised each other that they will be always together throughout their life and even after their death. The three souls hugged each other and were very happy. Now, God wanted to judge each other, he announced that among the three, there will be one ‘King of heaven” and everything will be according to his wish. The three brothers were asked to discuss and come to a final conclusion. Failing, will result in the separation of three brothers. All were confused.
The three brothers mutually decided to make the younger one the King of Heaven. God asked the younger child that now he has to make one wish which will make him happy; bad make his two brothers sad and unhappy. The clever younger brother asked God, to make his two elder brothers happy and stay together after his existence. God was shocked. He couldn’t understand and asked the reason for his strange wish.
The younger brother explained to God that making his two brothers happy will make him happy and his absence will make the brothers sad. Listening to this, God blessed them with love and happiness. The three brothers were back sent to earth to spread love, brotherhood, happiness in the world. God gifted their life back and they all lived happily.
Moral of the story:
Nowadays, we all are occupied with our personal space. We no longer give importance to our family, friends, and society. If we start loving each other, God’s creation-in form of humans, animals, plants, etc, and our earth will become the best place to live. If we care for our near and dear ones, God will always bless us to stay happy.
