- Long ago there lived a Lord whose wife died. Abut a week later the Lord died of a broken heart He had only one child, a son, and he also had a brother. He left the child under the car of his brother and two or three nurses. He willed all his belongings to the child, and he gave his brother a large sum of money - enough to provide him with food and clothing for his life.
The brother was very fond of the child at first, but after a while he grew jealous when he thought of all the money and the grand house the child would have when he would be grown up.
