Chapter 22 The Three Lucky Ones

A father gave each son an ordinary thing before he died, and told them to find ways to make money.

The eldest brother brought the rooster to an island without roosters. People here slept until dawn and didn't know to get up.Hearing that a rooster can make people get up to work, everyone bought it with a big bag of gold.The second brother also took his sickle to an island, where the people bombarded the wheat with cannons, and the damage was great.He patiently introduced to others that the sickle can be used to cut wheat.Naturally, a lot of gold will be exchanged.The little brother carried the cat to a place where there were no cats, and the mice were so rampant that even the king's clothes were often bitten.The king saw that his cat was very good at catching mice, so he bought it with a lot of money.From then on, the three brothers lived a happy life.
