There
____________________
once
two
brothers
who
____________________
on
the
edge
of
a
forest
.
The
elder
brother
____________________
very
mean
to
his
younger
brother
____________________
ate
up
all
the
food
and
____________________
all
his
good
clothes
.
One
day
,
the
elder
brother
went
into
the
forest
to
find
some
firewood
to
sell
in
the
market
.
As
he
____________________
around
chopping
the
branches
of
a
tree
____________________
tree
,
he
____________________
upon
a
magical
tree
.
The
tree
____________________
to
him
,
?
Oh
kind
sir
,
please
do
not
cut
my
branches
.
If
you
spare
me
,
I
will
give
you
my
golden
apples'
.
The
elder
brother
____________________
but
was
____________________
with
the
number
apples
the
tree
gave
him
.
Greed
overcame
him
,
and
he
____________________
to
cut
the
entire
trunk
if
the
tree
didn't
give
him
more
apples
.
The
magical
tree
instead
showered
upon
the
elder
brother
hundreds
upon
hundreds
of
tiny
needles
.
The
elder
brother
lay
on
the
ground
____________________
in
pain
as
the
sun
____________________
to
lower
down
the
horizon
.
The
younger
brother
grew
worried
and
went
in
____________________
of
his
elder
brother
.
He
____________________
him
with
hundreds
of
needles
on
his
skin
.
He
____________________
to
his
brother
and
____________________
each
needle
with
painstaking
love
.
After
he
____________________
,
the
elder
brother
____________________
for
treating
him
badly
and
____________________
to
be
better
.
The
tree
____________________
the
change
in
the
elder
brother's
____________________
and
____________________
them
all
the
golden
apples
they
____________________
ever
need
.
